ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the effects of migration and work experience on university-to-work transitions of German university graduates. We use a job search model, signaling and social network theory to discuss different links between the duration of labor market entry, graduate mobility and work experience. We apply event history analyses and make use of administrative social security records to examine whether work experience and pre-study as well as post-study migration accelerates the labor market entry of graduates. Our regression results stress the importance of both mobility and work experience for the length of the transition period. However, whether the effect is beneficial or adverse depends on the type of graduate migration and previous employment.

摘要

本文调查了移民和工作经验对德国大学毕业生从大学到工作的过渡的影响。我们使用求职模型、信号传递和社交网络理论来讨论劳动力市场进入持续时间、毕业生流动性和工作经验之间的不同联系。我们应用事件历史分析并利用行政社会保障记录来检验工作经验和学习前以及学习后的移民是否加速了毕业生进入劳动力市场。我们的回归结果强调了流动性和工作经验对于过渡期长度的重要性。然而，影响是有利还是不利取决于毕业生移民的类型和以前的就业情况。
