While the German labour market bumps along the bottom of a seemingly endless trough of unemployment, the British labour market has benefited from a comparatively buoyant service sector economy generating new employment. What potential could the service sector offer for creating new jobs in Germany? Will this only encourage low-skill, low-wage jobs, or are there other paths to job growth? How can Germany, which has traditionally enjoyed a high-skill, high-wage equilibrium, adapt to such changes?
AGF and WZB would like to give you the opportunity of discussing these and related issues by inviting you to the presentation of a new Anglo-German Foundation report "Job opportunities for whom? Labour market dynamics and service-sector employment growth in Germany and Britain". The report focuses on the kind of jobs growing between 1993 and 2002 and on who has been taking them up. Looking at transition patterns between non-employment and employment, the authors examine how far, and for whom, service employment is precarious.
Professor Colette Fagan, University of Manchester, and Dr Jacqueline O'Reilly, WZB and University of Sussex, will present their main findings, the discussion of which will be chaired by Prof. Dr. Anke Hassel, Hertie School of Governance, Berlin. In the afternoon session Prof. Dr. Friederike Maier, FHW Berlin, Dr. Steffen Lehndorf , IAT Gelsenkirchen, and Professor David Soskice, WZB will comment on chances and risks of growing service sector employment.
