Noncognitive Skills, School Achievements and Educational Dropout

Year:    2011

Author:    Coneus, Katja, Gernandt, Johannes, Saam, Marianne

Abstract

We analyse the determinants of dropout from secondary and vocational education in Germany using data on 17- to 21-year-olds from the Socio-Economic Panel from 2000 to 2007. Beyond the role of classical variables like family background and school achievements, we examine the effect of noncognitive skills. At constant school grades, noncognitive skills reduce the risk of becoming an educational dropout. The influence of school achievements on the dropout probability tends to decrease and the influence of noncognitive skills tends to increase with age.
