New Modes, New Challenges? The Influence of Extended Working Lives on the Late Employment Phase in Germany

In the past decade, old age security policies have aimed at providing incentives to prolong employment and change eligibility rules to reduce early retirement options; these are known as Active Ageing measures. Research reveals that extended working lives have altered exit patterns towards a prolongation of the late employment phase. This paper draws on conditions in the organisation of work in the ...

Government Report on Wellbeing in Germany

With its “Wellbeing in Germany – what matters to us” initiative, the federal government is turning its attention to the issue of wellbeing. It is designed to provide a benchmark for effective policymaking. But how do people define “wellbeing”? The government initiated a national dialogue to find the answer to this question.

Changes in Occupational Tasks and Their Association with Individual Wages and Occupational Mobility

This study provides novel evidence on the relevance of task content changes between and within occupations to wage dynamics of occupational changers and stayers. I use individual‐level, cross‐sectional data featuring tasks performed on the job to compute a measure of proximity of job contents. Then, I merge this measure to a large‐scale panel survey to show that occupational changers experience a wage ...

Great Expectations: Reservation Wages and the Minimum Wage Reform

This paper is the first causal study using quasi-experimental methods to identify the effect of minimum wages on the reservation wages of non-workers. We exploit variation in regional exposure to the introduction of a high-impact minimum wage in Germany in 2015, combined with survey responses about wage acceptance thresholds of job seekers. Results show a 16% increase in reservation wages among non-employed ...

Gender Quotas in the Boardroom: New Evidence from Germany

We examine the introduction of a gender quota law in Germany, mandating a minimum 30% of the underrepresented gender on the supervisory boards of a particular type of firms. We exploit the fact that Germany has a two-tier corporate system consisting of the affected supervisory boards and unaffected management boards within the same firm. We find a positive effect on the female share on supervisory ...

Mindestlohn: Nach wie vor erhalten ihn viele anspruchsberechtigte Beschäftigte nicht

Seit gut vier Jahren gilt in Deutschland ein allgemeiner Mindestlohn – doch nach wie vor erhalten ihn viele ArbeitnehmerInnen nicht. Das zeigen neue Berechnungen auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP), die die Nichteinhaltung des Mindestlohns für das Jahr 2017 fortschreiben. Demnach wurden selbst bei einer konservativen Schätzung rund 1,3 Millionen anspruchsberechtigte Personen im Rahmen einer ...
