Abstract:

German demographic or educational projections are conventionally based on macrosimulations. Macrosimulation models use average values of the simulation parameters to compute the updating process. Additionally, the proportions of educational graduate rates stay constant in these models. In this paper I introduce a discrete event microsimulation model which is designed to project the graduate rates of the German population. With this simulation model it was demonstrated that the development of the graduation rates can become the subject of the simulation.
