The declining birth rate in Germany since 1990 is increasingly showing differences between the German federal states. In a few regions, the viability of vocational schools in certain locations is under threat. Nevertheless, the qualification requirements of the labour market and growing demand for skilled workers, who need to be recruited from contracting birthrate cohorts, are presenting vocational schools with new tasks. Against this backdrop, the article outlines developmental perspectives in a differentiated way for different domains of training.
