Conclusions.This book examines a largely overlooked social movement in West Germany, notable for its significant influence on the national apprenticeship system. The movement, which led to substantial increases in apprentice pay and contributed to long-term improvements in training quality, is analysed through a wide array of sources, including contemporary German-language literature, official statistics, and archival documents from trade unions and employers' associations. Consideration of comparable changes in the UK, Switzerland, Sweden and the US contributes to a broader understanding of developments in Germany at the time. Addressing an important gap in scholarship, the book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers in economic history, labour economics, social sciences and history, interested in a better understanding of the apprentice movement in Germany and its impact on educational reform, employment relations and apprenticeship.Contributions to Economics,2197-7178Economic historyLabor economicsProfessional educationVocational educationWorld politicsSocial choiceWelfare economicsEconomic HistoryLabor EconomicsProfessional and Vocational EducationPolitical HistorySocial Choice and WelfareEconomic history.Labor economics.Professional education.Vocational education.World politics.Social choice.Welfare economics.Economic History.Labor Economics.Professional and Vocational Education.Political History.Social Choice and Welfare.330.9Ryan Paul382607MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911047708203321The Apprentice Movement in the Federal Republic of Germany4467600UNINA
