Occupational Structure and National Paths of Development: A Comparative Analysis of Germany

This presentation examines the changes in Germany's occupational structure over time and how they are influenced by national development paths. It explores the different work logics and orientations, as well as the factors that have led to structural shifts in the occupational classes. The presentation also discusses the multidimensional causes of these shifts, including rising competence, efficiency, transnational outsourcing, and social discrimination. It analyzes the impact of these changes on income classes and the dynamics of inequality in Germany.
