Employment and Continuing Vocational Training (CVT) in the German Microcensus of the Year 2003
Kai Sebastian Meinke
Abstract: This paper is based on my thesis from the year 2008. It
uses the German Microcensus (MC) to study the effects of continuing
vocational training (CVT) on employment, the risk of unemployment, and
wages. To control for education, profession and heterogeneity in the
sectors and industrial branches in Germany individuals are separated into
sub-groups. The results of my estimations indicate high returns to
continuous vocational training in terms of lower risk to be unemployed,
higher chances to be reemployed and higher chances to stay into an existing
employment. The results also indicate that repeated short activities in CVT
are more beneficial then long activities typically carried out by the
German employment agency during the period of the Microcensus 2003
