Abstract

This study seeks to reveal the heterogeneity in occupation-specific wage returns among graduates of the German vocational education and training (VET) system. We distinguish between VET graduates with and without a higher education entrance certificate (i.e. an Abitur). To implement our hierarchical multi-level analyses, we exploit the latest wave of the BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey from 2018. By estimating occupation-specific wage returns, we reveal gaps between VET graduates with and without an Abitur. Additionally, we analyse several occupational characteristics to show how they contribute to the gaps in wage returns between our study groups. Our results show that employees combining an Abitur with a VET degree achieve higher wage returns than those VET graduates without an Abitur across all occupations. Employees holding a VET degree without an Abitur display greater inequality of occupation-specific wage returns. Among the occupational characteristics, task composition is the main driver of the differences in wage returns.

特定职业的工资回报:揭示有职业教育与职业教育学位的员工之间的差异,无论是否有职业教育与职业教育学位
本研究旨在揭示德国职业教育与培训(VET)系统毕业生在职业特定工资回报方面的异质性。我们区分有和没有高等教育入学证书(即Abitur)的VET毕业生。为了实施我们的分层多层次分析,我们利用了2018年最新一波的BIBB/BAuA就业调查。通过估算特定职业的工资回报,我们揭示了拥有和没有Abitur的VET毕业生之间的差距。此外,我们分析了几个职业特征,以显示它们如何导致我们研究小组之间的工资回报差距。我们的研究结果表明,在所有职业中,拥有英语技能和职业教育学位的员工比那些没有英语技能的职业教育毕业生获得更高的工资回报。拥有职业教育培训学位但没有职业技能证书的员工在特定职业的工资回报上表现出更大的不平等。在职业特征中,任务构成是工资报酬差异的主要驱动因素。

期刊介绍: The main focus of this journal is to provide a platform for original empirical investigations in the field of professional, vocational and technical education, comparing the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of different vocational education systems at the school, company and systemic level. The journal fills a gap in the existing literature focusing on empirically-oriented academic research and stimulating the interest in strengthening the vocational part of the educational system, both at the basic and higher education level.
