The paper investigates the development of the skill-specific wage and employment structure for male full-time workers in Germany using a large micro data set for the time period 1975 to 1995. There are three main results of the analysis: First, employing two alternative measures for skill-intensity, a uniform trend towards a more qualified workforce prevails across sectors. Second, in contrast especially to the U.S. experience, also the lower deciles of the wage distribution profited from significant real wage growth. Third, although observed changes in the wage structure are not dramatic, the German economy is not a perfect bulwark against the world-wide trend of a more differentiated wage structure. More specifically, the tendency to more wage compression in the lower tail of the distribution during the late seventies and early eighties has been reversed since then. In the upper tail of the distribution, log percentile ratios have been increasing for all workers, especially for the more skilled. A decomposition analysis confirms most of the descriptive results. In contrast to these, however, it turns out that the skill premium for graduates from a university or polytechnics did not fall when corrected for a negative structural effect.

In Germany, the number of low-wage jobs is relatively small. The paper examines why this is so and which institutional reforms of the welfare state could help to expand the labour demand for low-wage work to give persons with a relatively low productivity a better chance to reintegrate into the labour market. The author proposes a reform of the German welfare state: away from granting unconditional unemployment and social aid towards providing aid for reemployment. The main elements of the reform are (i) subsidies to low-wage employment to foster a genuine market for labour with low productivity and (ii) setting a high priority by the relevant social and employment agencies on re-integration aims. The author extensively discusses a number of potential arguments against his reform proposal.
