Der Arbeitsmarkt für Akademikerinnen und Akademiker

Studieren macht sich bezahlt. Nicht nur was das Einkommen von Akademiker/innen anbelangt, sondern höhere Bildung schützt in Krisenzeiten auch besser vor Arbeitslosigkeit. Das zeigen Analysen der qualifikationsspezifischen Arbeitslosenquoten seit langem. Allerdings sind die Aussichten nicht auf allen akademischen Teilarbeitsmärkten gleich gut.
Diese Infoplattform dokumentiert Literatur, Forschungsprojekte, einschlägige Institutionen und sonstige relevante Informationsquellen zur Qualifikation und Beschäftigung von Hochschulabsolvent/innen insgesamt sowie zu Arbeitsmarktchancen und Beschäftigungsbedingungen für Absolvent/innen verschiedener Studienfächer und Fächergruppen.

    Bourabain, Dounia & Pieter-Paul Verhaeghe (2023): Equality for all? Support for equal opportunity among professors in Europe. In: Sociology Compass, Jg. 17, H. 1. DOI:10.1111/soc4.13039

    Abstract

    "Equal Opportunity programs (EO) continue to be at the center of the debate about promoting equality in higher education. While support for EO has been well-studied in American higher education, this research is the first to investigate the attitudes towards and support for a range of EO policies among professors in Europe. We specifically examine faculty support for seven different EO measures used in European universities that require varying levels of involvement and commitment. From a sample of 689 professors, findings show that women professors tend to show more support for all EO programs compared to men professors. We also see differences across disciplines. Professors from the humanities and social sciences are more likely to endorse such programs than their counterparts in STEM disciplines. Moreover, the differences across disciplines and gender decrease substantially when controlling for racial and gender attitudes. Finally, soft/differential programs, which prioritize merit but take group membership into account are preferred over hard/preferential programs which prioritize achieving equality by targeting members from marginalized groups. This research is innovative for its geographical location, sample of study, and range of included measures." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, Published by arrangement with John Wiley & Sons) ((en))

    Brunetti, Marianna, Annalisa Fabretti & Mariangela Zoli (2023): A Further Look at the Gender Gap in Italian Academic Careers. (CEIS Tor Vergata research papers Vol.21 (2023),7,No.570), Rom, 39 S.

    Abstract

    "In developed countries women have now achieved educational parity with men. Yet disparities persist in reaching top positions in the job market, with academia making no exception. This paper assesses the gender gap in career advancements in Italian universities over the 2013-2021 period, and explores the potential role of a third factor, i.e. mobility, besides competitiveness and scientific productivity typically investigated in the literature. The results, strongly robust, show a gender gap in advancements to associate professorship of about 4 percentage points, which is only partially explained by competitiveness, while scientific productivity and mobility do not seem to play a role. The estimated gender gap almost doubles for transitions to full professorship, and it remains unaffected when both competitiveness and scientific productivity are considered. Interestingly, mobility in this case matters: the gap is still there but (as much as 5 times) smaller when career advancements occur along with a move to a different University."

    Expansion of doctoral training and doctorate recipients’ labour market outcomes: evidence from German register data (2023)

    Bünstorf, Guido, Johannes König & Anne Otto (2023): Expansion of doctoral training and doctorate recipients’ labour market outcomes: evidence from German register data. In: Studies in higher education, Jg. 48, H. 8, S. 1216-1242., 2023-03-03. DOI:10.1080/03075079.2023.2188397

    Abstract

    "In many countries around the world, the number of new doctorate recipients graduating from universities has grown sharply in the past few decades, but the implications of this expansion for the employment situation of doctorate recipients remain largely unexplored in longitudinal studies. In Germany, as in various other countries, the expansion of doctoral education coincided with other changes in higher education that may have had a relevant impact on the careers of doctorate recipients. We explore the labour market outcomes of more than 98,000 doctorate recipients who graduated between 1995 and 2013. Focusing on differences among 19 annual graduation cohorts, we find that, beginning in the mid-2000s, newly graduating doctorate recipients had lower rates of full-time employment and were less likely to earn high incomes than graduates of the 1995–2000 period. At the same time, rates of inter-regional mobility have declined, and more new doctorate recipients remain employed in the academic sector. Differences across cohorts are robust to disaggregation along gender and disciplinary lines and persist for at least five years after graduation. We relate these findings to a stronger socialisation of doctoral students towards academic ‘excellence’, new employment options in university administration and management as well as increasing fixed-term employment in research projects. Our findings indicate that the expansion of doctoral education, as well as potential reforms in the training of doctoral candidates, must be analysed in the context of the respective university system."

    Abstract

    "Female entrepreneurship, despite increasing attention, is still largely understudied, especially in the academic context. By adopting the lenses of entrepreneurial ecosystems and feminist theories, the paper investigates the firm performance of female entrepreneurs. We provide empirical evidence of the underperformance of women-led firms, being academic spinoffs or not, compared to men-led firms in terms of growth and their overperformance in terms of survival rate. In addition, we focus on differences in the performance of women-led firms only by comparing Italian academic and nonacademic companies. In virtue of their university affiliation, women-led academic spinoffs result to grow more than women-led nonacademic spinoffs and tend to show lower survival rates, which makes them more similar to men-led companies."

    Abstract

    "Die Studie zeigt auf, dass in den letzten Jahren bereits positive Veränderungen angestoßen wurden, die die individuellen Karrierewege von Frauen im Ingenieurwesen fördern und unterstützen. Gleichzeitig sehen sich angehende und bereits berufstätige Ingenieurinnen noch immer mit ähnlichen Hindernissen bezüglich der gleichberechtigten Anerkennung von Fachkompetenzen, der Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie sowie der fehlenden individuellen Förderung von Fach- und Führungskarrieren konfrontiert. Diese Herausforderungen werden von den Unternehmen erkannt, jedoch bedarf es aktuell konkreter Ansatzpunkte, die den Möglichkeiten und Handlungsspielräumen von z.B. familiengeführten kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) entsprechen. Daher wurden, abgestimmt auf die aufgeführten Erkenntnisse, konkrete Empfehlungen in den Handlungsfeldern (1) Interesse wecken für das Berufsbild der Ingenieurin (vgl. Kapitel 6.1), (2) Rekrutierung und Gewinnung von Ingenieurinnen (vgl. Kapitel 6.2) sowie (3) Ingenieurinnen langfristig binden und halten (vgl. Kapitel 6.3) abgeleitet." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    Abstract

    "This paper analyzes whether and to what extent college students’ coworker networks from student jobs affect their labor market transition after graduation. The empirical analysis is based on administrative data, which includes all pre- and post-graduation job-related networks of college students who graduated from a large German university between 1995 and 2016. Our identification strategy overcomes potential bias due to non-random selection into networks by controlling for coherent sets of individual, network, and firm characteristics, as well as firm fixed effects, and by distinguishing between close and less close colleagues in the same firm. Our results suggest that college graduates benefit from the quality of their coworkers in student jobs by speeding up their transition to the labor market and earning higher wages in their first job after graduation. Our results are important for understanding the relevant ingredients for a successful transition from higher education to the labor market." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Junge Menschen mit allgemeiner Hochschulreife haben beim Erwerbseinstieg einen kurzzeitigen Startvorteil, wenn sie ihr Studium nicht an einer Universität, sondern an einer anderen Hochschule abschließen. Im weiteren Erwerbsverlauf müssen aber Personen mit einem anderen Hochschulabschluss im Vergleich zu denen mit Universitätsabschluss mit Einkommens- und Statusnachteilen rechnen. Nach Geschlecht betrachtet erfahren insbesondere Absolventinnen von den anderen Hochschulen längerfristig Nachteile bei Einkommen und Erwerbsstatus." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    Abstract

    "The status of women in economics is increasingly researched. However, the gender earnings gap among economics faculty is rarely examined due to data limitations. Relying on Canadian Public Sector Salary Disclosure lists, we construct a unique dataset of earnings, credentials, and research productivity of economics faculty members. We find a ceteris paribus gender earnings gap, which is driven by full professors." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Deutschland und die Schweiz hatten lange Zeit ähnliche (Aus-)Bildungssysteme mit klarer Trennung zwischen allgemeiner und beruflicher Bildung. Beide Länder haben ihre Systeme an die Herausforderungen der Globalisierung und des Strukturwandels auf verschiedene Weise angepasst. Vor diesem Hintergrund vergleichen wir den Trend zu höheren Bildungsabschlüssen und die relative Bedeutung der Abschlüsse in Sekundarstufe II und der Tertiärstufe zwischen 2005 und 2019. Die Diskussion der Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede erfolgt in Anlehnung an die vier neuralgischen Punkte von Busemeyer/Trampusch (2012). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich die Sekundarstufe II in der Schweiz eher pluralisiert und die Tertiärstufe sich distinktiv entwickelt hat. In Deutschland ist eine umgekehrte Entwicklung zu beobachten" (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku, © Budrich)

    Eckstein, Zvi, Michael P. Keane & Osnat Lifshitz (2023): What Explains the Growing Gender Education Gap? The Effects of Parental Background, the Labor Market and the Marriage Market on College Attainment. (IZA discussion paper / Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit 16612), Bonn, 58 S.

    Abstract

    "In the 1960 cohort, American men and women graduated from college at the same rate, and this was true for Whites, Blacks and Hispanics. But in more recent cohorts, women graduate at much higher rates than men. To understand the emerging gender education gap, we formulate and estimate a model of individual and family decision-making where education, labor supply, marriage and fertility are all endogenous. Assuming preferences that are common across ethnic groups and fixed over cohorts, our model explains differences in all endogenous variables by gender/ethnicity for the '60-'80 cohorts based on three exogenous factors: family background, labor market and marriage market constraints. Changes in parental background are a key factor driving the growing gender education gap: Women with college educated mothers get greater utility from college, and are much more likely to graduate themselves. The marriage market also contributes: Women's chance of getting marriage offers at older ages has increased, enabling them to defer marriage. The labor market is the largest factor: Improvement in women's labor market return to college in recent cohorts accounts for 50% of the increase in their graduation rate. But the labor market returns to college are still greater for men. Women go to college more because their overall return is greater, after factoring in marriage market returns and their greater utility from college attendance. We predict the recent large increases in women's graduation rates will cause their children's graduation rates to increase further. But growth in the aggregate graduation rate will slow substantially, due to significant increases in the share of Hispanics – a group with a low graduation rate – in recent birth cohorts."

    New Region, New Chances: Does Moving Regionally for University Shape Later Job Mobility? (2023)

    Abstract

    "The extensive literature on university graduates’ regional mobility highlights the importance of early mobility, but is primarily descriptive. We contribute to the identification of the effect of mobility upon high-school graduation on subsequent mobility across labour market regions. The data permit a novel identification strategy that uses the distance to university as an instrument. To ensure comparability, we select high-school graduates from only the suburban region of a large German agglomeration in a university graduate survey. We find that early mobility leads to a sizable increase in later labour mobility, which has implications for labour market efficiency and distributional policy concerns."

    Abstract

    "Our study focuses on the gender gap in college aspirations and enrolment among high school students in Germany. We build on socialization theory, rational choice theory, and formal restrictions to college access to explain gender differences in idealistic college aspirations, realistic college expectations, and the disparities between the two. Specifically, we examine the prevalence of 'pessimistic' college expectations, where college aspirations are higher than expectations, which we expect to be more likely among young women than young men. By analyzing survey data from 1,766 upper secondary students in Germany, we find that women are equally interested in pursuing higher education as their male counterparts. They even express higher aspirations for college enrolment. However, women are more pessimistic than men about realizing their aspirations. While factors such as the subjective probability of success and perceived costs impact both genders, young women are also affected by formal restrictions limiting entry to their preferred fields of study."

    Abstract

    "This study investigates a unique incentive-based affirmative action program in Germany’s academic labor market. By analyzing a sample of business administration professors, we document that the probability that a newly tenured professor is female increases at universities that participate in this government program compared to universities that do not. By delving deeper into the mechanisms of the program, we show that program universities lowered the entry barrier for tenured professorships regarding publication records for new female professors. While favoring women, we show that the program had no harmful effects on male professors regarding the entry barrier to tenured professorships. Overall, we provide evidence of the effectiveness of financial incentives as a means of reducing female underrepresentation in academic labor markets."

    "The aim of this paper is to investigate career paths within the first 12 months after graduating with a teaching degree (master or first state examination) in an exploratory manner. Based on the panel data of teacher education students from the German National Education Panel (NEPS) Starting Cohort 5, we find that 66 % of the observed sample (N = 2,302) transition to preparatory service within the first 12 months after graduation. Another 14 % take the direct route into the teaching profession, while 20 % pursue an occupation not (directly) related to teaching. Significant differences between these groups are found, for example, in terms of gender distribution, field of study, and final grades." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Giorgio, Di Pietro (2023): Indicators for monitoring teacher shortage in the European Union: possibilities and constraints. (JRC science for policy report), Brüssel, 38 S.

    Abstract

    "In many EU countries the lack of qualified teachers is a persistent problem which has aggravated in recent years. While most EU Member States produce their own national teacher shortage indicators, these are based on different definitions and methodologies, which make their comparability extremely challenging. Additionally, while Eurostat collects data on two indicators that are related to teacher shortage (i.e., pupil-teacher ratio and share of older teachers (aged 60 or above)), this report shows that it would be problematic to rely on them in order to monitor the situation at EU level. A major difficulty in developing a common EU approach for measuring teacher shortage lies in the different teacher accreditation systems adopted by EU Member States. In an attempt to address the aforementioned problems, this report concludes by suggesting directions for two possible EU cross-country comparative indicators on teacher shortage."

    Abstract

    "The advantages of higher education have received significant attention over time. However, recent research seems to challenge this assumption. It highlights that returns to education may be subject to inflation, may vary in relation to skills, and may not be equally distributed, thus posing new questions about the role of formal education. Against this background, the growing popularity of new forms of online education and training such as MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) have emerged. Investigating the way different learners use MOOCs may contribute to a deeper understanding of the evolution of the labour market outcomes of both traditional and technologically-mediated educational qualifications. Based on 43 semi-structured interviews conducted with MOOC users in the USA and in Europe, this article explores the potential of MOOCs on the labour market. The positional competition approach can help frame the results, inasmuch as MOOCs emerge as “soft credentials”. These accessible and flexible educational tools seem to provide applicants in the job queue with additional resources, although their labour market value remains modest and ancillary to formal educational qualifications. From a long-term perspective, however, increasing reliance on this type of training may contribute to further shifting of responsibilities from collective actors to individual workers."

    Abstract

    "This article studies gender bias in early-stage academic evaluations in Italy and investigates whether this bias depends on various types of authorship in collaborative work across three academic fields: humanities, economics, and social sciences. We test our hypotheses via a factorial survey (vignette) experiment on a sample from the entire population of associate and full professors employed at Italian public universities in 2019. This is one of the few experiments conducted with university professors to consider hiring propensities in academia. Contrary to our general expectations, we do not find gender bias in relation to co-authorship in our general population of interest. However, the results provide some evidence that when the evaluator is a man, highly collaborative women academics in Italy receive less favourable evaluations of their qualifications compared to male colleagues with identical credentials. This gender bias is found in economics, a field where the conventions of co-authorship allow for greater uncertainty about individual contributions to a joint publication."

    "We investigate the effect of education on public job choice using quarter of birth as an instrumental variable. We find that an additional year of education increases the probability of public sector employment by 1.87 percentage points. However, this positive effect is driven by females, whites, and those with high school degrees or less. For those with college or higher degrees, we observe a decrease in public employment with more education. Our results imply that highly-educated individuals go into high-risk, high-return occupations." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Während die soziale Herkunft von Studierenden beim Übergang ins Hochschulsystem bereits häufig im Fokus stand, haben Studienverläufe – die Bildungsphase zwischen der Erstimmatrikulation bis zum endgültigen Studienabschluss (oder Abbruch) – bisher weniger Beachtung erfahren. Ausgehend von der Frage, ob und wie sich die Studienverläufe von Bachelorstudierenden unterschiedlicher sozialer Herkunft unterscheiden, versucht dieser Artikel diese Forschungslücke zu schließen. Auf der Grundlage der Verteilung akademisch-kultureller und ökonomischer Ressourcen werden konträre Hypothesen zum Zusam menhang zwischen der sozialen Herkunft der Studierenden und der Komplexität ihrer Hochschulverläufe entwickelt. Empirische Grundlage dieser Studie bildet die Studierendenkohorte des Nationalen Bildungspanels (NEPS). Die Rekonstruktion der Studienverläufe von Bachelorstudierenden mittels Sequenzmusteranalyse resul tierte in sechs Studienverlaufstypen. Multinomiale logistische Regressionen ergaben, dass vor allem Studierende aus niedrig gebildeten Elternhäusern häufiger einen (noch) nicht abgeschlossenen Studienverlauf und andere komplexe Studienverläufe aufweisen. Im Vergleich zu Studierenden, die einen linearen Standardstudienverlauf aufweisen, sind diese Unterschiede vor allem auf Unterschiede in den vorherigen Leistungen zurückzuführen, zu einem kleineren Teil jedoch auch auf Unterschiede in den von Eltern bereitgestellten weiteren Ressourcen."
