Education and labour market outcomes : a French-German comparison ; with 57 tables

This book offers a comprehensive empirical analysis of educational inequalities and their consequences on individual labour market outcomes for men and women in France and Germany, two countries with different education systems. Based on microdata of either country, mainly econometric methods are employed. After a detailed comparison of the French and the German education systems, the social determinants of school and post-school attainment are analysed. Then, the extent to which education reduces the unemployment risk is examined, distinguishing between risk of entering unemployment, unemployment duration as well as recurrence of unemployment episodes. Finally, evidence is given on the way education affects the individual earnings prospects. TOC:Introduction.- The French and the German education systems.- Educational attainment in France and Germany.- Education and unemployment in France and Germany.- Education and earnings in France and Germany.- Conclusion
