Information

How do changes in the level of education come about and how do they affect economic development? The Center for Educational Economics researches these questions. Contributions and policy recommendations are developed on the basis of scientific findings. They are intended to contribute to enabling people to participate more strongly in the opportunities offered by an open society, to survive in international competition and to exploit their opportunities for greater prosperity.

The nagging problem of significant numbers of youth leaving school unprepared for career employment has revitalized interest in vocational education, particularly apprenticeships. Support for vocational education comes from people across the political spectrum, from both labor and business groups, and from the popular media. The clearest manifestation in policy is President Trump’s executive order that calls for immediate expansion of existing apprenticeship programs while simultaneously disparaging the effectiveness of current education and training programs.
