  • This paper aims to compare ethnic disadvantages in the transition from school to vocational education and training (VET) between Germany and German- speaking Switzerland. These two countries are suitable for comparison because of their similar school systems, occupational structure and VET system. At the same time, they differ in terms of the societal prestige of their less demanding lower secondary school tracks. I focus in particular on the extent to which these differences have an impact on the signaling value of the obtained certificates, and hence on the transition from school to VET. Furthermore, I consider the following theoretical approaches to explain ethnic differences: differences in human capital endowment, theories of discrimination and educational aspirations. My analyses are based on two panel studies: the DAB panel study for German-speaking Switzerland and CILS4EU for Germany. To estimate VET success rates, I apply multilevel linear probability models (N = 1,682). My results indicate that there are country differences regarding the premiums associated with holding more demanding lower secondary school leaving certificates. In Germany, native students benefit much more from having a certificate from a secondary school with extended requirements than minority students. In Switzerland, in contrast, no group differences regarding the premiums can be detected, (xsd:string)
