We use a difference-in-differences estimator based on administrative data from the German pension insurance and find that, on average, ...

Die Frage, wie sich Frauen und Männer in Partnerschaften die unbezahlte Sorgearbeit aufteilen, entscheidet mit über die Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter. Eine große Rolle spielt in diesem Zusammenhang die Erwerbstätigkeit von Frauen. Vor diesem Hintergrund analysiert dieser Bericht mit einem Fokus auf Paare, die in den Jahren 2013 bis 2020 – meist 2015 und 2016 – nach Deutschland geflüchtet sind, ...
