Wie geht es für wen weiter? Verläufe der bildungs- und berufsbezogenen Neuorientierung nach Abbruch eines Studiums und der Einfluss der sozialen Herkunft.Kracke, N., & Isleib, S. (2023).Wie geht es für wen weiter? Verläufe der bildungs- und berufsbezogenen Neuorientierung nach Abbruch eines Studiums und der Einfluss der sozialen Herkunft. Soziale Welt, 74(2), 173-215. Abstract
This article is the first to comprehensively examine the question of the extent to which social origin exerts an influence on the choice of educational and occupational options after dropping out of a first degree programme. Based on the survey of exmatriculated students from the 2014 summer semester, six typical patterns of reorientation after dropping out are identified by means of sequence and cluster analyses. These vary with regard to the types of activities as well as temporal dimensions. The social origin proves to be a significant factor influencing reorientation. The impact of social origin is most visible with regard to weighing up between renewed studies and other alternatives: individuals from fully academic parental homes are m |

This paper examines the influence of gender and social background on higher education dropout and subsequent educational and occupational reorientation. In this context, both settings are discussed theoretically and then examined empirically, both separately and in interaction. In particular, our paper highlights the importance and analytical consequences of how dropout is defined and which group of "non-dropouts" is used for comparison. Based on data of the DZHW-Exmatrikuliertenbefragung (survey of exmatriculated students), it is shown that social origin and gender affect both the risk of dropping out and subsequent educational decisions. In addition, the analyses show that women's risk of dropping out and their ... |

A Task-Based Indicator for Labour Market Mismatch.Kracke, N., & Rodrigues, M. (2020).A Task-Based Indicator for Labour Market Mismatch. Social Indicators Research, 149(2), 399–421. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11205-019-02261-2 Abstract
This article uses a task-based approach to measure labour market mismatch and to study the wage effects of mismatch. We propose a new indicator—cognitive mismatch—and contrast it with the commonly used overqualification indicator. We argue that considering the tasks performed in each occupation captures more adequately the complexity of job requirements and tackles the major drawbacks of the existing approaches measuring mismatch. Using rich administrative data from the German Sample of Integrated Labour Market Biographies, we find that 4.8% of the total employment episodes are matched in terms of qualification but mismatched in terms of the tasks performed. Fixed Effects models show that the largest wage loss occurs in cases of mismatch in |
