(Spezifität von Ausbildungsberufen und berufliche Mobilität)
An important question in the recent debate on educational policies is whether the early specialization of VET-traning in a particular occupation might later on turn into a disadvantage when workers change jobs during their employment careers. The goal of this project is to examine the specificity of different training programs and their effects from an economic perspective. For this purpose, we first develop an empirical measure to assess the specificity of different training programs. In a second step, we examine how this empirical measure correlates with the labor market outcomes of workers trained in more or less specific occupations. In particular we look at their wages and occupational mobility.
