Shavit, Yossi und Müller, Walter, (1994). Vocational Education and the Transition
of Men from School to Work in Israel, Italy and Germany. Paper prepared for presentation
at the ESF Network on Transitions in Youth Workshop; 16-19 Sept. 1994:
Seelisberg, Switzerland.
Abstract: "This paper reevaluates the effects of high school vocational education on
students' odds of being unemployed and their occupational attainments in the transition
from school to work. The questions posed are whether vocational secundary
education actually benefits its clientele or wether it is simply the crude mechanism of
social exclusion that some claim it to be? and how does the role of vocational education
might vary across three countries: Israel, Italy and Germany. We find: first, vocational
education in all three countries enhance the odds of obtaining employment
as a skilled rather than unskilled worker. Second, in all three countries vocational
education attenuates the risk of non-employment. Third, by diverting students away
from the maturity diplomas, and presumably, from higher education, vocational education
reduces their chances of attaining employment in high prestige occupations.
We conclude that despite the vast differences between the three educational systems,
they seem to exhibit similar patterns although the patterns are most pronounced in
Germany." Die Autoren verwenden Daten der ALLBUS-Befragungen 1980-1992.

Abstract: "Most secondary school systems maintain a distinction between academic
and vocational education. Scholars ascribing to human capital theory view vocational
education as a safety net, which enhances students' chances of finding gainful employment
as skilled workers. Other view it as a mechanism of social reproduction,
which diverts working-class students from higher education and the professions. We
hypothesize that the extent to which vocational secondary education performs each
of these roles - safety net and diversion - can vary by country. Drawing on earlier
work, we offer several hypotheses concerning the effects of school systemic characteristics
on the role of vocational education in shaping patterns of labour force entry
for young men and women. We then test these hypotheses through secondary analysis
of data for countries with diverse educational systems. We find that in most countries
secondary vocational education reduced the odds of unemployment, and the
chances of someone entering the labor force as an unskilled worker. Second, the advantages
associated with vocational education are most pronounced in countries
