In den meisten deutschen Bundesländern ist aufgrund fehlender Daten unklar, ob und ab wann Fehltage in der Schule ein ernstzunehmendes Problem mit Blick auf die Leistungen von Schüler*innen sind.

This was a period of significant social change commonly associated with “deindustrialization”. Based on a task-based approach and the assumption of routine-biased technological change it is assumed that the routine nature of work tasks correlates with ...

Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a suspicion that the health burden would fall mainly on population ...
