“…(Service Skills Australia 2011, 10); As Service Skills Australia (2011) put it, 'Recommendation five strikes at the heart of highly feminised workforces'. While the Expert Panel Report stated that women could be encouraged to take up traditional apprenticeships to compensate, this has not occurred, as shown earlier in this paper (Misko 2020) and is unlikely to occur, since occupational choices are generally gendered (Malin and Jacob 2019).…”

“…Of course, gendered occupational choices do not apply only to apprenticeships. Recent research in Germany shows that the occupational aspirations of girls and boys remain gender-stereotyped, and also that girls are less likely to choose masculinised occupations than vice versa (Malin and Jacob 2019). In recognition of this, one way to address imbalance is to add more occupations to the list of apprenticeships.…”

The expansion and contraction of the apprenticeship system in Australia, 1985-2020

This paper chronicles and analyses the expansion and contraction of the Australian apprenticeship system from 1985 to 2020. The system expanded from a small number of occupations, mainly in craft and manufacturing areas, to include many other occupations, notably in the different types of service sectors. The expansion was achieved primarily through a new type of apprenticeship, known as a traineeship, to augment the existing more traditional apprenticeships. Since 2012, the system has contracted considerably, and the participation rate of women has been affected disproportionately. The period of expansion of the system was book-ended by two major governmentinstigated documents, in 1985 and 2011. In 1985 a Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry into Labour Market Programs proposed the introduction of traineeships, and in 2011 an Expert Panel on Apprenticeships sought to reduce numbers through the application of specific criteria for government support, which primarily affected the occupations served by traineeships. Two sources of evidence are used to examine the expansion and contraction of the apprenticeship system: data from the national apprenticeship statistics collection maintained by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) and key government reports over the 35 years. A brief overview of COVID-19-related developments in 2020 is included.

“…In Germany, post-school transition chances clearly differ according to educational degrees, gender, regional, social and ethnic background and the intersections among these variables (e.g. Beicht and Walden 2015;Haasler and Gottschall 2015;Hillmert, Hartung, and Katarina 2017;Holtmann, Menze, and Solga 2017;Jacob, Kleinert, and Michael 2013;Malin and Jacob 2019).…”

This study explores school-to-work transitions in Germany, aiming to achieve a richer understanding of the complexity of labour market entry trajectories while focusing on transition measures. The term transition measures refers to additional training courses that complement the regular vocational education and training system of firm-based or school-based qualification routes. The contribution of supplementary training measures to the school-to-work transitions of young adults is a controversial issue. While programmes aim to ease the transitions of low-skilled youth in the training and labour market, critics point to the risks of long-term subsidised careers or fragmented employment trajectories in subsequent years. By applying sequence analysis to administrative data of the Federal Employment Agency, individual trajectories of a cohort of school leavers with an at-most intermediate school-leaving certificate are analysed for the period 2008 to 2014. The results show a complex picture of ten distinct school-to-work transition patterns. Youth passing through transition measures tend to experience a less continuous but still purposeful transition pathway. We also identify a small number of youth experiencing at-risk trajectories characterised by a highly discontinuous transition process, which points to sustained detachment from the training and labour markets.

“…Interessanterweise werden Berufe mit potenziell höherer Beschäftigungssicherheit unter diesen regionalen Bedingungen jedoch nicht häufiger aspiriert (Hartung 2017;Hartung et al 2019). Bekannt ist aber, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer geschlechtstypischen Berufswahl mit dem regionalen Anteil der Erwerbstätigen in männer-und frauentypischen Berufen variiert (Malin und Jacob 2018).…”

Berufliche Aspirationen im Kontext regionaler Berufsstrukturen

Zusammenfassung Jugendliche entwickeln ihre beruflichen Pläne und Erwartungen in Interaktion mit signifikanten Anderen in den sozialen Kontexten, in denen sie sich bewegen. Innerhalb gleicher institutioneller Gelegenheitsstrukturen sind regionale Arbeitsmärkte wichtige sozialräumliche Kontexte, die über das unmittelbare Umfeld der Familie, der Schule oder der Nachbarschaft hinaus die Entwicklung von beruflichen Aspirationen bedingen. In unserem Beitrag untersuchen wir die Relevanz der regionalen Berufsstruktur, d. h. der Präsenz von unterschiedlichen Berufen auf dem regionalen Arbeitsmarkt, für die Berufswahl von nichtstudienberechtigten Jugendlichen in Deutschland. Unsere Ergebnisse basieren auf Daten der Startkohorte 4 des Nationalen Bildungspanels, die wir um beruflich-regionale Indikatoren auf Grundlage administrativer Statistiken der Bundesagentur für Arbeit ergänzen. Anhand von konditionalen logistischen Regressionsmodellen zeigen wir, dass sich die Jugendlichen in ihren beruflichen Aspirationen am Ende der Schulzeit an den Berufen der Erwerbstätigen in ihrer Region orientieren: Je höher der Anteil eines Berufs an der regionalen Berufsstruktur ist, desto wahrscheinlicher ist es, dass Jugendliche diesen Beruf aspirieren. Dieser Zusammenhang wird nicht über das berufliche Prestige oder die Geschlechterkomposition des Berufs moderiert. Unser Beitrag macht somit deutlich, dass die Wahl eines Berufs – und damit auch die mit dieser Wahl einhergehenden ungleichen längerfristigen Erwerbs- und Lebensbedingungen – zu einem gewissen Grad „per Lotterie“ über den Wohnort im Jugendalter bestimmt werden.
