Exposure to childhood poverty increases the likelihood of adult poverty. However, past research offers conflicting accounts of cross-national variation in the strength of the intergenerational persistence of poverty and the mechanisms through which it is channeled. This study investigates differences in intergenerational poverty in the United States (U.S.), Australia, Denmark, Germany, and United Kingdom ...

Climate change is one of the central challenges for contemporary societies. It is widely discussed as triggering “climate anxiety,” and as dampening the desire to reproduce, particularly among young people. Conversely, parenthood could affect people’s attitudes and behaviors toward the environment. Empirically, however, little is known about this potentially reciprocal relationship due to the lack ...

Previous research has documented that sexual orientation relates to educational attainment, and that it might do so differently for men and women. In this paper, we investigate to what extent sexual orientation moderates the relationship between social origin and educational attainment and whether the educational premium among LGB people might be concentrated among individuals from lower socioeconomic ...

Empirical evidence suggests that a large proportion of immigrants who initially intended to stay temporarily in the destination country end up staying permanently, which may lead to suboptimal integration. We study systematic causes of unexpected staying that originate in migrant misperceptions. Our framework contains uncertainty about long-term wages, endogenous integration and savings in the short ...

Seit der Machtübernahme der Taliban versuchen mehr Menschen denn je, Afghanistan so schnell wie möglich zu verlassen. In einem aktuellen IAB-Forschungsbericht hat ein sechsköpfiges Forscherteam versucht abzuschätzen, wie sich dies auf die Migration aus Afghanistan und auf das Integrationsgeschehen in Deutschland auswirken dürfte. Die Redaktion des IAB-Forum hat bei Professor Herbert Brücker nachgefragt, ...

This article examines how the characteristics of people needing care determine the provision of family care and the time intensity of caring for men and women. Using novel data, we conduct linear (probability) regression models and find that women face family care demands as often as men but tend to provide more (time-intensive) care. When of retirement age, men are more likely than women to meet care ...

Volunteers’ time contributions have decreased in some European societies, and researchers have sought to understand why. This study aims to uncover the relationship between work-family life changes and changes in individual voluntary behaviour with volunteers’ time contributions. To analyse how determinants for volunteer time contributions have changed over time, we draw on cross-sectional data from ...

A new algorithmic approach to personality prototyping based on Big Five traits was applied to a large representative and longitudinal German dataset (N = 22,820) including behavior, personality and health correlates. We applied three different clustering techniques, latent profile analysis, the k-means method and spectral clustering algorithms. The resulting cluster centers, i.e. the personality prototypes, ...

In Deutschland - wie auch international - ist die Mietbelastung seit Beginn der 1990er Jahre gestiegen. Anfang der 2000er Jahre wurde dieser Trend gebrochen und die Belastung blieb annähernd konstant. Zudem haben sich die Unterschiede in der Belastung zwischen den verschiedenen Einkommensgruppen in den letzten Jahren vergrößert. Im Jahr 2021 zahlten die einkommensschwächsten 20 Prozent der Miethaushalte ...
