Trendwende am Arbeitsmarkt seit 2005: Jobboom mit Schattenseiten?

Abstract

"Ten years ago, we observed a turnaround of the German labour market. Employment increased continuously and unemployment came down tremendously. At the same time temporary and low-wage jobs gained in importance. Several questions arise: How far are changes in the composition of work arrangements a new and rising phenomenon? To what extent were the developments accompanied by increasing and unwarranted inequalities? To give answers the article examines the composition of employment and the speed of changes before and after the turnaround in 2005. In order to assess recent developments, we discuss results regarding upward mobility from less stable and low-wage jobs. The paper shows that changes in the composition of employment have slowed down recently, but have continued despite a period of improved labour market performance."
