Abstract: | In response to increased international policy attention to youth unemployment this study investigates post-secondary school
transitions of school leavers. Multinomial logit models are estimated for male and female German youth. The models control
for individual, parent, and household characteristics, for those of the youth's region of residence and local labor markets.
The findings suggest that immigrant youth has particularly low participation rates in continued education, and that youth
unemployment is centered in high unemployment states and metropolitan areas. More generous academic benefit policies seem
to be correlated with increased academic enrollment, and men's transitions to the military do reflect recent changes in defense
policies.
