Summary
The academic workforce is recognised as being key to the ability of both modern economies to innovate and societies to solve current problems and avert future ones. However, the German academic system is characterised by increasingly fierce competition and offers young researchers career prospects that are difficult to plan. This special issue aims to understand the social mechanisms behind the career decisions, prospects and paths of higher education graduates both inside and outside academia. It sheds light on employment trajectories and monetary returns, the embedding of careers in private and professional social networks and academic recruitment processes. The contributions in this special issue provide the latest research in a vibrant research field.With contributions bySimone Bartsch | Khulan Bayarkhuu | Frerk Blome | Aaron Bohlen | Guido Buenstorf | Sara Connolly | Thorsten Euler | Christina Elhalaby | Nurith Epstein | Stefan Fuchs | Lea Goldan | Christiane Gross | Isabel M.
