Making the Transition: Education and Labor Market Entry in Central- and Eastern Europe
Our contribution to the existing literature on transformation processes
Research on the consequences of transformation process on social inequality, labor markets and life courses in CEE (e.g. Nee 1989; Heyns 2005; Diewald et al 2006)
Our study complements the existing research on the transformation in CEE by analyzing comparatively education systems (their diversity and dynamics) in the transformation process
Focus on the consequences of system transformation on young people’s labor market integration

Making the Transition: Education and Labor Market Entry in Central- and Eastern Europe
Our contribution to the existing literature on school-to-work transitions Comparative studies have shown the central
role of the education systems in structuring the labour market entry (Müller/Shavit 1998; Müller/Gangl 2003; Müller/Kogan 2003)
Geographical extension of exiting comparative studies on the school-to-work transition
More detailed analysis of the structuring effect of education: measuring institutional set-up of the education system at the individual level
Use of high quality, longitudinal data in order to study the dynamics of school-to-work transition

Making the Transition: Education and Labor Market Entry in Central- and Eastern Europe
Main research questions at the post-secondary/tertiary level
Do tertiary graduates possess labor market advantage despite expansion?
Does the increasing tertiary institution heterogeneity bring diversity in rewards between graduates from different tertiary education institutions?
Does the performance of tertiary education graduates vary with the national institutional settings?
![Page 9: Making the Transition: Education and Labor Market Entry in Central- and Eastern Europe Education attainment and labor market entry of highly educated in](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6b5503460f94b68c00/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Making the Transition: Education and Labor Market Entry in Central- and Eastern Europe
General research design
10 country studies written by national experts Drawing on high quality longitudinal data Use of state-of-the-art quantitative modeling
techniques Selection of countries in order to provide substantial
variation in terms of education institutions Standardized definitions of sample and variables But use of detailed national education classifications
and additional information about education characteristics in order to capture the institutional specificities of each country

Making the Transition: Education and Labor Market Entry in Central- and Eastern Europe
Comparative framework: across time and countries
School-to-work transitions during the transition from socialism to capitalism in lenses of the cohort change (Russia, Czech republic, Estonia)
School-to-work transitions since the start of reforms (Slovenia, Hungary, East Germany)
Detailed account of school-to-work transitions for a recent cohort of school leavers (Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Ukraine)
Education effects are theoretically derived + explained at the micro-level
In selected countries measurement of specific single institutions of the education system at the individual level, e.g. firm-based vs. school-based training; tuition vs. tuition-free tertiary education

Making the Transition: Education and Labor Market Entry in Central- and Eastern Europe
Higher tertiary vs. lower tertiary and post-secondary non-tertiary
With regard to the social selectivity of access to post-secondary education a uniform finding is that low-level tertiary education is a very open track of post-secondary education
Graduating from longer university programs ensures higher status employment in all countries analyzed, except for Eastern Germany, and quicker labor market entry is guaranteed for the university graduates in the majority of countries covered by our analysis
Hardly any difference between graduates from lower- and higher-level tertiary education with regard to the stability of first employment

Tuition vs. non-tuition / private vs. public
Admission of state-financed regular students, tuition-paying regular as well as tuition-paying part-time/per correspondence (i.e. so-called irregular) students
Analyzed for Poland, Serbia, and UkraineNo indication that the type of the program, budget- or tuition-financed, is of any importance
Academic achievements of fee-paying and fee-waved students might not systematically differ, as both groups undergo the very same education process (i.e. same courses, same lecturers, and same peers).

Making the Transition: Education and Labor Market Entry in Central- and Eastern Europe
Part-time vs. full-time students
Part-time education is a path left open for the youth least inclined towards time-consuming academic studies and/or for those who are already employed and are thus have less time to complete education
Analyzed for Poland, Serbia, and UkraineSignificant differences are observed between graduates from full-time programs and those studying part-time in the countries: as a rule part-time students are quicker in entering employment but attain lower-status jobs
