Conclusions. 330 $aThis book examines a largely overlooked social movement in West Germany, notable for its significant influence on the national apprenticeship system. The movement, which led to substantial increases in apprentice pay and contributed to long-term improvements in training quality, is analysed through a wide array of sources, including contemporary German-language literature, official statistics, and archival documents from trade unions and employers' associations. Consideration of comparable changes in the UK, Switzerland, Sweden and the US contributes to a broader understanding of developments in Germany at the time. Addressing an important gap in scholarship, the book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers in economic history, labour economics, social sciences and history, interested in a better understanding of the apprentice movement in Germany and its impact on educational reform, employment relations and apprenticeship. 410 0$aContributions to Economics,$x2197-7178 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aProfessional education 606 $aVocational education 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aSocial choice 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aLabor Economics 606 $aProfessional and Vocational Education 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aSocial Choice and Welfare 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aProfessional education. 615 0$aVocational education. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aSocial choice. 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aProfessional and Vocational Education. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aSocial Choice and Welfare. 676 $a330.9 700 $aRyan$b Paul$0382607 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911047708203321 996 $aThe Apprentice Movement in the Federal Republic of Germany$94467600 997 $aUNINA
