Kinder mit nicht deutschsprechenden Eltern - Eine Analyse auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP)

Verfügen Eltern über keine guten Deutschkenntnisse, haben die Kinder deutliche Nachteile im deutschen Bildungssystem. Einer eigenen Auswertung des Soziooekonomischen Panels zufolge hatte im Jahr 2019 bei 10,5 Prozent der unter 16-Jährigen mindestens ein Elternteil und bei 5,2 Prozent hatten beide Elternteile keine guten Sprachfähigkeiten. Betrachtet man nur die rein fremdsprachigen Familien, lagen ...

Impact of migration policies on socio-cultural participation and well-being: evidence from the Migration Act of 2000 in Germany

However, little is known about the impact of migration policies on migrants' participation in socio-cultural activities and their link with well-being. The first aim of this study is to explore the effect of the Migration Act of 2000 in Germany on ...

Private spanner in public works? The corrosive effects of private insurance on public life

Contemporary societies are not only “risk societies”, but also insurance societies. While the shift of systemic risks from the community to the individual is a distinctive trait of modernity, research on the consequences of this process has focused almost exclusively on welfare state responses aimed at re-collectivizing societal risks. Individual-level reactions associated with the need for a private ...

Health Returns to Education Across the Life Course: Measuring Health in Children and Adolescents in the National Educational Panel Study

Health is an important non-monetary outcome of education surveyed by the National Education Panel Study (NEPS). In addition to its effects in adulthood (see Lettau et al., 2020), the interplay between education and health also plays a role for children and adolescents. For this reason, the NEPS provides longitudinal data on various aspects of health, education, relevant control variables, and mechanisms ...

Non-Standard Employment and Partnership Dissolution: A Comparison of Nonmarital Cohabitations and Marriages

It moves beyond previous studies by (a) considering a broader range of employment types, including fixed-term ...

Political implications of ‘green’ infrastructure in one’s ‘backyard’: the Green Party’s Catch 22?

A clean environment is a public good, with the benefits shared by all. While most individuals can agree on the need to implement green policies, we argue that the cost-benefit calculation is quite different depending on where one lives. Those individuals living in places where green infrastructure is infeasible, such as cities, can advocate for green technologies knowing that the chance of having to ...

Minor and inconsistent differences in Big Five personality traits between vegetarians and vegans

Most research examining individuals who follow different diets has combined vegetarians and vegans into a single group. To investigate whether this consolidation is justified, we analyzed possible differences between vegetarians and vegans for the Big Five personality traits in two studies. In our pre-study, we used data from a German convenience sample of 400 vegetarians and 749 vegans and found that ...

Die Mittelschicht im Fokus - Abgrenzung, Entwicklung und Mobilität

Etwa jeder zweite Bundesbürger zählte im Jahr 2018 zur Einkommensmittelschicht im engeren Sinn (i.e.S.). Seit über einer Dekade hat sich dieser Anteil nur unmerklich verändert. Gestiegen sind jedoch die Schwellenwerte, ab denen man zur Einkommensmitte gehört – ein Ausdruck gestiegenen Wohlstands. Während im Jahr 2018 ein Singlehaushalt mit einem monatlichen Nettoeinkommen ab 1.620 Euro zur Mitte i.e.S. ...
