In modern societies the labor market integration of each individual demands the central task of integration. Nevertheless job integration or a successful occupational life course depends not only upon his or her motivation or attention to the job directly, but is also a function of his or her qualification or biography and of his or her embedding into a preferred social environment. Using a system dynamics model introduced in this paper we demonstrate that an individual re-balancing between his or her job, biography, and social embedding is necessary to guarantee an optimal and sustainable labor market reintegration.
