| Sumario: | ABSTRACT This paper will focus on the use of longitudinal micro data and the potential of household panel studies. Beginning with a brief discussion of methodological issues of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) results of cross-national comparisons are presented. Research findings from a comparative analysis of the process and outcomes of the school-to-work transition are presented, showing that substantial differences in transition patterns persist between Germany and the United States. A typology of labour mobility is presented to discuss the differences of the overall active labour force participation in West and East Germany and the UK. The findings indicate that West Germany shows a significant higher job stability for men and women. The paper closes with some recommendations for feasible further comparative analysis with an integrated longitudinal data archive of household panels. |
