JOBLINGE—Joining Forces to Address Youth
Unemployment
Introduction
May 2014
A joint initiative of The Boston Consulting Group and the Eberhard von Kuenheim Foundation of BMW AG

2. 1
Currently, 600,000 youths have not yet found jobs after
secondary school …
1. As of the end of 2011
Source: "Education in Germany 2012" Authoring Group Educational Reporting, 2012, statistics from the Federal Employment Agency; Bertelsmann Foundation
• 50% of students in lower secondary school
still do not have a training position one year
after completing school
• 300,000 youths are in the "transition system"
between school and training1
Demographic change and lack of skilled workers do not
solve the problem of these youth!
• Less than 20% of underprivileged youth make
the transition into training
• 1 in 6 fears long-term unemployment
From school
straight to social
welfare?

3. 2
Statistics
JOBLINGE participants …
 Disadvantaged in many ways
 Average of three years in transition
system
 Most are over 20 years old
 Over 60% with no more than a
lower secondary education
 Over 70% have an immigrant
background
 Over 60% receive social welfare
 Approximately 65% are male

market," October 2010, p. 23 2. Placement rate in industrial and nonindustrial professional training after 18 months according to the Education Report 2008 (BIBB transition study), p 165 3. In 2010,
transition system expenses €4.3B for 324,000 youths in the transition system (Bertelsmann Foundation: "Influence of demographic development on the transition system and the education market,"
October 2010, p. 24 and Bertelsmann Foundation: "Employment in the life cycle," 2011, p. 11); scaled to an average period in the transition system of 17 months

"My mother was very sick over the past years, and I spent most of my time
looking after her, so I didn't have much time for school, homework, or friends.
She passed away last year.
I applied for many jobs, but I only got rejections. When I wanted to give up
entirely, my mentor and the people at JOBLINGE believed in me. Now I am
doing an apprenticeship in warehouse logistics, and I'm definitely going
through with it!"
Susanne, 21, German
"Three years ago my family and I arrived here in Germany. I couldn't
speak German at all at the time, and couldn't be bothered about school. I was
sent to a youth home and I often had to deal with the police.
At JOBLINGE, my friends and I started working right away. I realized that I am
good at something after all! That's why I got my internship and now I'm doing
an apprenticeship as a retail salesman. When things don't work there, I
know JOBLINGE will still be there to help me."
Piotr, 17, Russian
