Abstract

The subject of the analysis is a mismatch in qualification levels; that is the divergence between employees’ formal qualification levels and the actual qualification requirements for the work carried out. In this article the extent and structure of occupational mismatches in Germany is examined. Specifically we analyse the situation of persons entering unemployment and examine the discrepancy between the job requirements in their last occupation and their formal qualifications. We use official labour market data from the Federal Employment Agency in Germany that represent a complete sample of all registered entries into unemployment in Germany between July 2010 and January 2012. The results show that qualification mismatches vary considerably across different occupations.
