Bankruptcies in Germany: Significant scars in workers' biographies

Abstract

"Large, well-known firms that file for bankruptcy typically receive a lot of public attention. However, most bankrupt firms are rather small and we still know little about the effects of bankruptcies on workers. This report analyses the effects of bankruptcies on earnings and employment prospects of affected workers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
