(Request a copy)Based on a life course perspective, this paper explores whether intergenerational status decline initiates employees’ participation in further vocational training. Additionally, it investigates whether further training compensates for status decline across generations and whether it contributes to decreasing the risk of such decline in the course of an occupational career. Results based on the German Life History Study of West German women and men from several birth cohorts observed between 1949 and 1999 indicate that status maintenance may be an important motivation for individuals who have experienced intergenerational status decline. By means of further training, these persons are able to compensate for downward mobility. Status consistent participants who undertake further training are more likely to be able to reduce the risk of intergenerational status decline than non-participants. Further vocational training supports status maintenance across generations.
