The analysis uses administrative as well as survey data. The results suggest that East Germans faced significant initial ...

Preterm birth research is poised to explore the mental health of adults born very preterm(VP; <32+0 weeks gestational age) and/or very low birth weight(VLBW; <1500g) through individual participant data meta-analyses, but first the previous evidence needs to be understood. We systematically reviewed and assessed the quality of the evidence from VP/VLBW studies with mental health symptoms or disorders ...

Our empirical analysis, using the German SOEP, confirms this theory for Germany. Comparing adequately qualified and overqualified workers in jobs that require the same level of formal qualification ...
