Employment trajectories in Germany: do firm characteristics and regional disparities matter?

Abstract: The employment period is of central importance in the life course and therefore ensuring job stability, whether internally or between firms, is essential for workers. In considering this, it is worthwhile to note from the outset that employees act within a particular framework. Employment trajectories are affected by firm-specific opportunity structures and diverse regional heterogeneities. Furthermore, the role of the business cycle is also an important factor to be addressed. This article is to contribute to existing research on employment trajectories and particularly towards addressing more fully structural factors that frame action, which remain under investigated. In order to gain a fuller picture of structural and cyclical determinants, a German linked employer-employee dataset as well as data on regional economic characteristics using the ‘Spatial Planning Regions’ (German statistical units) were merged. The hierarchically clustered data was explored through multilevel mode
