Mobility after Apprenticeship { How Eeective Is the German Apprenticeship System ?
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we provide evidence on the eeectiveness of the German apprenticeship system as a means to enhance workers productivity. More speciically, we estimate earnings diierentials between those who subsequently leave the occupation they were apprenticed in and those who remain in their training occupation. Some authors have been concerned with the potential productivity{ and earnings-decreasing eeects of occupational turnover. Yet, we nd that average earnings are reduced only for a minority among those who leave the apprenticeship occupation. This is evidence in favor of the eeectiveness of the German apprenticeship system.
