SOEPpapers 1132 / 2021
Substantial educational inequalities have been documented in Germany for decades. In this article, we examine whether educational inequalities among children have increased or remained the same since the school closures of spring 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our perspective is longitudinal: We compare the amount of time children in secondary schools spent on school-related activities at home ...

Work as well as family life are crucial sources of human wellbeing, which however often interfere. This is especially so if partners work in the same occupation or industry. At the same time, being work-linked may benefit their career success. Still, surprisingly little is known about the wellbeing of work-linked couples. Our study fills this gap by examining the satisfaction differences between work-linked ...

Im zweiten Lockdown sinkt Ungleichheit der Haushaltsnettoeinkommen – Grund sind vor allem schrumpfende Einkünfte der Selbstständigen – Mittelfristig bleibt Ungleichheit aber auf stabilem Niveau, da Einkommen in der Breite steigen – Steigende Insolvenzzahlen könnten dies ändern – Anteil der von essentiellem Mangel Betroffenen hat sich zwischen 2008 und ...

DIW Weekly Report 17/18 / 2021
Both wages and needs-adjusted household income increased by ten percent between 2013 and 2018, benefiting all income groups. Wage inequality has been declining for many years and has now again reached the level of the early 2000s. At the same time, the low-wage sector shrank by two percentage points. Household income inequality, in contrast, has hardly changed for many years and the low-income rate ...

DIW Wochenbericht 18 / 2021
Sowohl Löhne als auch bedarfsgewichtete Haushaltseinkommen sind im Zeitraum 2013 bis 2018 real um gut zehn Prozent gestiegen. Hiervon profitierten alle Einkommensgruppen. Die Ungleichheit der Löhne ist seit mehreren Jahren rückläufig und liegt wieder auf dem Niveau wie zu Beginn der 2000er Jahre. Parallel dazu ist der Niedriglohnsektor um zwei Prozentpunkte geschrumpft. Anders verhält es sich bei den ...

DIW aktuell ; 61 : Sonderausgaben zur Bundestagswahl 2021 / 2021
Sechs Jahre nach der Einführung des Mindestlohns in Deutschland stehen vor allem die Höhe des Mindestlohns und seine europaweite Einführung im Fokus der politischen Debatte. Dabei wird zu wenig auf weitere strukturelle Schwachstellen eingegangen, die im Rahmen der Mindestlohneinführung zutage traten. So lassen sich Stundenlohnerhöhungen nicht eins zu eins in Erhöhungen der Monatseinkommen übersetzen. ...

We investigate how the economic consequences of the pandemic, and of the governmentmandated measures to contain its spread, affect the self-employed – particularly women – in Germany. For our analysis, we use representative, real-time survey data in which respondents were asked about their situation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings indicate that among the self-employed, who generally face ...

Previous research suggests that minimum wages induce heterogeneous treatment effects on wages across different groups of employees. This research usually defines groups \textit{ex ante}. We analyze to what extent effect heterogeneities can be discerned in a data-driven manner by adapting the generalized random forest implementation of Athey et al (2019) in a difference-in-differences setting. Such ...

This paper presents the first comprehensive study of the long-run evolution of wealth inequality in Germany. We combine tax data, surveys, national accounts and rich lists to study the distribution of wealth in Germany from 1895 to 2018. We show that the concentration of wealth in the hands of the top 1% has fallen by half, from close to 50% in 1895 to less than 25% today. The interwar period as well ...

We quantify the contribution of rental income to pre- and post-government equivalent household income inequality and of housing wealth to net wealth inequality between 2002 and 2017 in Germany by means of a factor decomposition. Further, we differentiate by region types (urban vs. rural, large vs. small municipalities) and federal states. We find that housing wealth, housing ownership and rental income ...

Die Covid-19-Pandemie hat das Leben vieler Menschen negativ beeinflusst. Auf Basis einer Sonderbefragung des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP-CoV) zeigt sich, dass die Pandemie die rund 4,2 Millionen Selbstständigen in Deutschland im Vergleich zu den abhängig Beschäftigten stärker getroffen hat. Dabei besteht ein deutlicher Gender Gap: Während 47 Prozent der selbstständigen Männer Einkommensverluste ...

Plötzlich mussten Kinder ganztags Zuhause betreut und beschult werden. In diesem Beitrag beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage nach der subjektiven Belastung, der sich Eltern durch die Beschulung ihrer Kinder Zuhause ausgesetzt ...

Less-educated persons have worse cardiovascular health. We compare the educational gradients in three disease-specific health measures (biomarkers, self-reported doctors’ diagnoses and cause-specific mortality) in order to compare their relevance in different stages of the disease process. We study 14,102 people aged 50–89 from the US Health Retirement Study (HRS) in the period 2006–17. We use six ...

In most cross-national research on Life Satisfaction (LS) an implicit assumption appears to be that the correlates of LS are the same the world over; ‘one size fits all’. Using data from the World Values Survey (1999–2014), we question this assumption by assessing the effects of differing personal values/life priorities on LS in five world regions: the West, Latin America, the Asian-Confucian region, ...

This article highlights the potentials for migration research using the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), a longitudinal panel dataset of private households in Germany running since 1984. We provide a concise overview of its basic features, describe the survey contents and research potentials, and demonstrate opportunities to link external data sources to the SOEP thereby presenting its diverse ...
