Der Zusammenhang von Bildungssystemen und sozialer Ungleichheit in den neuen Bundeslandern ist in der vorliegenden Arbeit untersucht und dargestellt worden. Abschliesend soll nun dargestellt werden, ob die in Kapitel 3.4 aufgestellten Hypothesen bestatigt werden konnen oder abgelehnt werden mussen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung werden dann in zusammenfassenden Thesen auf den Punkt gebracht. Eine Diskussion der aus diesen Ergebnissen resultierenden Implikationen fur gesellschaftliche Zielsetzungen und politische Masnahmen schliest dieses Kapitel ab.

Als Hauptdimensionen sozialer Ungleichheit werden allgemein materieller Wohlstand, Macht, Prestige und Bildung angesehen. Die der Bildung spielt eine herausragende Rolle: „Uber umfassendere oder geringere Bildung zu verfugen, hat heute im Hinblick auf nahezu alle angestrebten ‚Werte‘ und Zielvorstellungen (...) kaum zu uberschatzende Auswirkungen“ (Hradil 1999: 27). Das Bildungssystem hat also einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die soziale Platzierung seiner Absolventen — je hoher der erreichte Abschluss, desto groser die Chancen auf den erwunschten Ausbildungs- oder Studienplatz und damit im Allgemeinen auch die spatere berufliche Position; nach wie vor ist also das Bildungswesen eine Institution sozialer Selektion (vgl. Muller & Mayer 1976).

Wahrend die seit den 1950er Jahren stark gewachsene Bildungsbeteiligung im Bereich der weiterfuhrenden Schulen und Hochschulen als ein zentraler Faktor des sozialen Wandels der deutschen Gesellschaft betrachtet wird, ist die Bildungsexpansion, die im Bereich der beruflichen Bildung erfolgt ist, von Offentlichkeit und Wissenschaft weniger beachtet worden. Dessen ungeachtet stellt die nicht akademische berufliche Erstausbildung heute den quantitativ bedeutsamsten Sektor der postsekundaren, sowohl die Sekundarstufe II als auch den Tertiarbereich umfassenden Bildung dar. Mindestens zwei Drittel der Manner und Frauen der jungeren Geburtsjahrgange haben eine nicht akademische Berufsausbildung absolviert.

ABSTRACT This chapter reviews a wide array of research on the impact of educational attainment on quality of life. Adopting Cummins’ (Soc Indi Res 38:303–328, 1996; Assessing quality of life. In Brown RI (ed) Quality of life for people with disabilities. Stanley Thornes Cheltenham, pp 116–150, 1997) quality of life schema as a heuristic framework the authors consider educational effects in seven broad life domains: achieving in life; material well-being/standard of living; emotional well-being/resiliency; physical health; community; intimate relationships; and personal safety/future security. The reviewed research reveals the effects of educational attainment on QoL to be multidimensional (cutting across life domains) and often reciprocal (conditioning of and conditioned by domains) in nature. The mechanisms underlying the education-QoL relationship are discussed in terms of three basic pathways by which education imparts benefits (Introduction. In Behrman JR, Crawford DL, Stacey N (eds) The social benefits of education. University of Michigan Press, Ann Arbour, pp 1–9, 1997): (a) improving the stock of knowledge and the analytical skills individuals use to guide their behavior; (b) altering individuals’ preferences; and (c) altering the constraints/opportunities presented to individuals. The authors conclude that although there are still numerous questions and gaps remaining, the case for the positive effects of educational attainment on quality of life is in the balance very convincing.

Educational systems considerably influence educational opportunities and the resulting social inequalities. Contrasting institutional regulations of both structures and contents, the authors present a typology of educational system types in Germany to analyze their effects on social inequality in eastern Germany after unification. After 1990, the comprehensive secondary school was replaced by three types of differentiated secondary schooling. In this unique field experiment of model transfer and institutional change in a federal country, reforms in these state educational systems-all originally of a uniform socialist type-led to participation rates rising to western enrollment levels, yet with substantial state-level differences. These are attributable to the divergence of educational systems reformed according to contrasting western German models. These types substantially and differentially generate intergenerational inequalities. The authors chart the sharp and significant effect...

Dieser Beitrag stellt überblicksartig anhand von Eurostat-Daten zur Altersstruktur und zum Risiko von Armut und sozialer Exklusion die Diversität von Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen mit Migrationshintergrund in Europa dar. Da Bildung eine zentrale Rolle für die Integration spielt, erfolgt auf der Grundlage von Resultaten der PISA-Studie ein Vergleich von Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen mit Migrationshintergrund mit anderen sozialen Gruppen. Basierend auf Analysen des  EU-Indikators „Frühzeitige Schul- und Ausbildungsabgänger“ und dessen deutlichen Verbesserungen im Zeitverlauf erfolgt abschließend die Darstellung von Aktivitäten der Europäischen Kommission zur Reduzierung dieses Anteils der frühen Schulabgänger; darüber hinaus werden einige Beispiele für wirksame Aktivitäten verschiedener gesellschaftlicher Gruppen zur Integration von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit Migrationshintergrund vorgestellt.

This paper investigates why the effect of family background on student’s educational achievement is so different in Germany and in Japan in spite of their similarity over a huge variance of student performance scores in the PISA 2003 study. We intend to clarify the factors which produce the difference and the similarity simultaneously. For this purpose, we analyzed the PISA 2003 data of both countries. The strong tracking system with early stage selection and with grade retention in Germany, and the entrance examination system in Japan contribute to produce the difference and similarity of student’s test performance in the two countries. In addition, we found that the role of the mother in the family, connecting family background and student performance, differs according to each school system.

As the recent OECD PISA studies have shown, social background plays a greater role for achieving a solid education in Germany than in most other developed countries; this is especially so for migrant youths. This paper deals with the question, which level education and qualification migrants in Germany achieve, and how their chances for achieving qualifications and positions are compared to Germans. First, an overview over results of studies on educational participation, degrees, and social inequality among migrants is given. Then I show, using data from the 2000 BiB-Integration Survey, that young Turks and Italians have achieved notably lower levels of education than Germans. Finally, I discuss possible reasons and agencies that might cause these findings, which then are scrutinised by empirical analyses. It can be found that the marked under-representation with regard to higher educational and professional degrees of young Italians and Turks is clearly related to the low educational level of their parents, as well as factors of integration and attitudes. It does become obvious, however, that Turks have lower chances that cannot be explained by their parents’ qualification or other factors. This is also the case for the second immigrant generation.
