“…The probability of being low-paid tends to decrease with a worker's qualification level (Figure 2), but it is notable that (in some countries) significant shares of skilled workers are also engaged in low-wage employment. These findings are confirmed by other studies for the EU [5] and for a number of countries like Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain [7]; Germany [8]; the UK [9]; and Australia [3].…”

“…Concerning individual worker characteristics, not only is low-wage employment more prevalent among female and low-skilled workers, but the chances that these groups are able to escape from low-paid jobs are also generally more limited [6], [7], [8]. In contrast, younger workers at the beginning of their careers exhibit a higher probability of moving up the wage ladder than older workers [6], [8].…”

“…However, for a significant number of employees such as women, the less educated and the aged, the low wage situation tends to be persistent and lasting once in it. Similar results were obtained in Portugal by Vieira (2005) and Germany by Mosthaf et al (2011). Deding (2002) concluded that women are at a greater risk than men of remaining low-wage employees in Denmark and the USA.…”

“…According to Mosthaf et al (2011), in their study for Germany, companies with an elevated proportion of low wage workers offer them few opportunities to get out of this situation. The same applies to those found in occupations with a high percentage of low income.…”

Explanatory variables take into account the characteristics of the employee, such as education, age, tenure with the company, gender and nationality, and the characteristics of the job and the company such as industry affiliation, number of employees, age of the company and location.JEL Classification: J31, J42

This paper gives an overview of the transformation of the German labour market since the mid-1990s with a special focus on the changing patterns of labour market segmentation or 'dualization' of employment in Germany. While labour market duality in Germany can partially be attributed to labour market reforms promoting, in particular, non-standard forms of employment and allowing for an expansion of low pay, structural changes in the economy as well as strategic choices by employers and social partners also play a prominent role. Our main argument is that the liberalization of non-standard contracts has contributed to the expansion of overall labour market inclusion and job growth in Germany and that at least some forms of non-standard work provide stepping stones into permanent regular jobs. Atypical contracts do not necessarily undermine the dominance of standard employment relationships and job quality in this primary segment but rather form a supplementary part of employment in sectors that depend on more flexible and maybe cheaper forms of labour.JEL Classification: J21, J31, J42
