Abstract

This article summarizes the results of a survey among young members of the Verein für Socialpolitik, the main association of academic economists in the German speaking areas. In general, the responding researchers seem to be satisfied with the quality of the mentoring received and with their integration into their research institutions. With respect to the activities of the Verein für Socialpolitik, the respondents favor additional measures to promote the academic job market and to open up the topical panels of the association to younger scholars.
