Abstract:

German demographic or educational projections are con- ventionally based on macrosimulation or period mi- crosimulation models. In this paper we introduce a discrete-event microsimulation model, which we have designed to project the graduate rates of the German pop- ulation. In this model we use survival functions to calcu- late different fertility rates by mothers’ education. This paper describes how to implement the empirical results into the discrete event microsimulation model CoMICS II and discusses further steps to create a microsimulation model which could demonstrate the development of the German graduate rate considering different strengths of social selectivity mechanisms in the German education system.
