We show that entrants in new firms differ from those joining incumbent firms, and we use a matching approach to compare a group of employees joining new firms in 1995/1996 with a control group entering incumbent firms. Our results indicate that individuals' employment stability was higher in incumbent than in newly founded firms, while their risk of becoming unemployed was lower. In particular in eastern Germany, joining firms that were older than 6 years improved individuals' employment prospects.
