Abstract This paper sheds light on the wage structure of foreign and German employees who are subject to social security contributions in fulltime employment and focuses on the experience structure. Existing evidence suggests that additional labour market experience is rewarded less for migrants than for their German counterparts.

These explanations include: the recognition of vocational training degrees, the successful passing of vocational training in Germany, German citizenship by naturalisation, and the labour market experience.
