Around the world, the number of refugees is at a record high. Although most forcibly displaced persons seek refuge within their home country or in a neighboring state (UNHCR, 2020), a large number of refugees have reached Europe in recent years, and many of them have settled in Germany (Eurostat, 2020). As many refugees were children and adolescents when they arrived in Germany (Bundesamt für Migration ...

In Deutschland ist es noch ein weiter Weg zu einer partnerschaftlichen Aufteilung der Erwerbs- und Sorgearbeit zwischen Männern und Frauen: Bei den Beschäftigungsquoten und im Erwerbsumfang liegen Frauen deutlich hinter Männern, bei der Kinderbetreuung und Hausarbeit ist es umgekehrt. Diese ungleichen Zeitverwendungen stehen in unmittelbarem Zusammenhang zueinander: Ökonometrische Analysen in diesem ...

Der Gender Pay Gap, also die Verdienstlücke zwischen Frauen und Männern, ist in den vergangenen Jahren langsam, aber kontinuierlich auf 18 Prozent gesunken. Wie dieser Bericht auf Basis von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) anlässlich des bevorstehenden Equal Pay Days zeigt, unterscheidet sich der Rückgang allerdings sehrstark nach dem Alter: Während der Gender Pay Gap bei den unter 30-Jährigen ...

This study deals with the impact of the 2015 European Refugee Crisis on the ethnic identity of resident migrants in Germany. To derive plausibly causal estimates, I exploit the quasi experimental setting in Germany, by which refugees are allocated to different counties by state authorities without being able to choose their locations themselves. This study finds that higher shares of refugees in a ...

Individuals typically traverse several life phases before forming a family. We analyze whether changing the duration of one of these phases, the education phase, affects the timing of marriage and childbearing. For this purpose, we exploit the introduction of short school years (SSYs) in Germany in 1966–1967, which compressed the education phase without affecting the curriculum. Based on difference-in-differences ...

We investigate the relationship between homeownership and life as well as housing satisfaction. Using panel data from Germany, we find that compared to renting, owning a home positively impacts housing satisfaction. Contrarily, we find no significant effects on life satisfaction in the long-term. Analysing short-term effects in an event-study design, we show that both life and housing satisfaction ...

Im Verlauf des 20. Jahrhunderts haben Regierungen die Regulierung von Mietpreisen häufig eingesetzt, um insbesondere in Krisenzeiten auch bei knappem Wohnraum Mieten bezahlbar zu halten. Bisherige Forschung hat gezeigt, dass diese Regulierung allerdings mit gesamtgesellschaftlichen Wohlstandsverlusten, Misallokation am Markt und anderen unerwünschten Nebeneffekten wie sinkendem Wohnungsangebot und ...

In most cross-national research on Life Satisfaction (LS) an implicit assumption appears to be that the correlates of LS are the same the world over; ‘one size fits all’. Using data from the World Values Survey (1999–2014), we question this assumption by assessing the effects of differing personal values/life priorities on LS in five world regions: the West, Latin America, the Asian-Confucian region, ...

Agency and communion are the two fundamental content dimensions in psychology. The two dimensions figure prominently in many psychological realms (personality, social, self, motivational, cross-cultural, etc.). In contemporary research, however, personality is most commonly measured within the Big Five framework. We developed novel agency and communion scales based on the items from the most popular ...

International migration originating from highly developed countries is a crucial component of global migration flows. There are, however, surprisingly little data about the international mobility of the populations of affluent countries. The German Emigration and Remigration Panel Study (GERPS) aims to provide a resource that enables the analysis of individual consequences of international migration ...
