Abstract

This article examines under-qualification and over-qualification within individual occupations as well as in aggregate employment in Germany. To measure qualification mismatches, the formal education of employees is compared with the educational requirements of their actual job. Contrary to the common focus on overqualification in the literature it is shown that in Germany under-qualified employees are more common. Concerning professional mismatches, the empirical results show considerable differences between various professions. Only some of the existing theories on qualification mismatches explain the number of underqualified employees and professional mismatches. The empirical results presented in this study can be best explained by using an approach that combines the concept of partial labour markets, the assignment model and an institutional economics perspective.
