Growing up with a single mother and life satisfaction in adulthood: A test of mediating and moderating factors

Single parenthood is increasingly common in Western societies but only little is known about its long-term effects. We therefore studied life satisfaction among 641 individuals (ages 18–66 years) who spent their entire childhood with a single mother, 1539 individuals who spent part of their childhood with both parents but then experienced parental separation, and 21,943 individuals who grew up with ...

Age Differences in Intertemporal Choice: U-Shaped Associations in a Probability Sample of German Households

To describe adult age differences in intertemporal choice, we analyzed data from 1,491 participants who completed an incentivized monetary intertemporal discounting choice task involving different conditions (e.g., time delay of 12 months vs. 1 month). Respondents completed a number of other survey measures, including behavioral measures of cognitive ability, and self-reports concerning health, financial ...

Internal Migration of Immigrants: Evidence from Western Germany

This paper deals with the internal migration patterns of the immigrant population in Germany and addresses the question of whether immigrants are more mobile than native Germans and to what extent the differences in spatial mobility behavior between immigrants and native Germans are influenced by (a) individual level characteristics and (b) the regional economic and social context background. The analysis ...

Transmission ehrenamtlichen Engagements im Elternhaus – Ergebnis von Sozialisation oder Statustransmission?

Ziel des Beitrages ist es, das Ausmaß der Weitergabe des ehrenamtlichen Engagements im Elternhaus aufzuzeigen und die dahinter stehenden Mechanismen aufzudecken. Eine mögliche Erklärung der intergenerationalen Transmission geht aus der Sozialisationshypothese hervor, die besagt, dass Eltern während den formativen Jahren ihrer Kinder (14 bis 17 Jahre) mit ehrenamtlichem Engagement Rollenmodelle darstellen, ...

Panel Survey Recruitment With or Without Interviewers? Implications for Nonresponse, Panel Consent, and Total Recruitment Bias

Panel surveys are increasingly experimenting with the use of self-administered modes of data collection as alternatives to more expensive interviewer-administered modes. As data collection costs continue to rise, it is plausible that future panel surveys will forego interviewer administration entirely. We examine the implications of this scenario for recruitment bias in the first wave of a panel survey ...

Sampling the Ethnic Minority Population in Germany. The Background to “Migration Background”

The paper discusses techniques for sampling the “migrant background” population in Germany, which comprises all first-generation immigrants, all non-citizens born in Germany, and all children with at least one parent fulfilling one of these criteria. Random walk sampling and random digit dialing techniques are feasible for sampling this population as a whole, but inefficient for subgroups. Telephone ...

Ausländer, Eingebürgerte und das Problem einer realistischen Zuwanderer-Integrationsbilanz

Geflüchtete nahmen in Deutschland später eine Erwerbstätigkeit auf als andere MigrantInnen

Bei der Gruppe der bereits länger in Deutschland lebenden Geflüchteten, die insbesondere zwischen 1990 und 2010 einwanderten, dauerte die Aufnahme einer Erwerbstätigkeit länger als bei anderen MigrantInnen. Das zeigen die Daten des Sozio- oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) und der IAB-SOEP-Migrationsbefragung. Zudemwiesen diese Geflüchteten auch Jahre nach der Zuwanderung eine höhere Erwerbslosenquote auf ...
