Abstract

Using data from the German Socio Economic Panel, I describe the incidence, attributes, and outcomes of continous training received by workers in Germany between 1986 and 1989. Further training is primarily a white collar phenomenon, it is concentrated among the more highly educated, in the service sector and in public administration.
