Chapter Chapter 10 in The Apprentice Movement in the Federal Republic of Germany, 2025, pp 177-183 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter starts with the third potential economic effect of the movement: on the volume of apprenticeship training. Apprentice militancy appears to have only rarely reduced directly the demand for apprentices by employers, but higher pay may have meant an indirect effect. Lack of data and econometric difficulties make it difficult to establish whether that was the case. The evidence is consistent with some reduction in apprentice intakes, particularly in smaller firms that treated apprentices primarily as a source of immediate production labour. The second part of the chapter considers the movement’s personal, social, and political effects, including the handling of apprentices by authority figures and the aspirations of some activists to social and political revolution.
