The risk of becoming unemployed is particularly high for the low-skilled. Moreover, the chances of an unskilled unemployed person re-entering employment is also significantly lower. As a rule low skills mean low productivity, which evidently means that it is often not worthwhile for firms to employ them at the given wage level, particularly in phases of rapid structural change. In order to improve ...

Education is one of the most frequently used variables in social science research. However, it is challenging to measure educational attainment with a high degree of validity and comparability in migrant surveys.

Despite the relatively extensive research on pay levels and the consequences of income disparities, little is known about which reference groups people choose for comparative evaluation of personal income and why different selection patterns emerge.

Income comparisons are among the key mechanisms used to explain satisfaction and happiness, among other outcomes. Yet progress on the questions of who people use as social referents and whether differential selection patterns exist can only be made based on valid and reliable measures of pay referents included in large-scale population surveys.

Social comparisons are an essential source of information about the self. Research in social psychology has shown individual variation in the tendency toward comparison with other people’s opinions and abilities, raising the question of whether social comparisons are driven by psychological dispositions.
