Abstract
The transition from school to work represents a significant shift in young adulthood, which affects both later labor market careers and transitions in other life domains. Numerous studies have shown that, in Westem societies, the process of enteting working life is systematicaily shaped by educational systems and labor markets (cf. Shavit/Müller 1998; Müller/Gangi 2004). However, the picture we currendy have of transitions from school to work in Central and Eastem European (CEE) societies is much less clear.
We would like to thank Michaela Kreyettfeld and Gerda Neyer for valuable comments and discussions.
