Dissertation erschienen unter dem Titel: Smooth path or long and winding road?$dcomparing the institutional embeddedness of graduate careers in Germany and Britain
Description:
The book uses a comparative study of Germany and Britain to reveal how national institutions shape the labour market careers of higher education graduates. It identifies four institutional spheres that are important: the structure of higher education systems, the content of study, the structure of graduate labour markets, and labour market flexibility. Due to country differences, the transition from higher education to work in Germany follows a smooth path, while in Britain it is more comparable to a long and winding road.
