Abstract of her paper:
The degree of how strong young people with a migrant background are underrepresented in vocational education and training (VET) varies between Germany’s federal states. The present study applied Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis to investigate the effects of the educational policy and contextual factors in Germany’s federal states on the amount of ethnic inequality in VET. The results indicate that a low amount of apprenticeships and a high size of school-based VET or transition programs in a federal state are sufficient for a high degree of ethnic inequality in VET. A low degree of ethnic inequality in VET is explained by a high amount of apprenticeships and a low size of school-based VET. However, no characteristic of the VET system is consistently necessary for high or low ethnic inequality in VET.
