Various Domains of Integration of Refugees and Their Interrelationships: A Study of Recent Middle Eastern Refugee Inflows in Austria

This paper investigates the size and direction of the interrelationships between two important aspects of integration of refugees in Austria: labour market integration and social integration. Labour market integration is captured in terms of being in paid employment, as compared to being unemployed or inactive, whereas social integration distinguishes between social networks and their ethnic composition ...

Taxing fairly or failing badly? Reduced VAT rates and redistribution

The application of reduced VAT rates in the EU generally aims to alleviate the regressivity of consumption taxation. However, while these measures generate redistribution across income groups, they also do so within income groups, leading to arbitrary redistribution among households with similar incomes but different consumption patterns. Using the Analysis of Gini (ANOGI) decomposition, we evaluate ...

Temporary Employment and First Births: A Path Analysis of the Underlying Mechanisms Using Australian and German Panel Data

In many countries, temporary work (including fixed-term and casual employment contracts) is negatively associated with fertility. Yet, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain poorly understood. This study investigates several mediating pathways (wages, financial satisfaction, short tenure, and subjective job insecurity) through which temporary work influences the transition to first birth ...

Interaction effects on health between perceived neighbourhood social cohesion and demographic changes: a longitudinal study

Background Perceived neighbourhood social cohesion is associated with better health in particular as a conveyor of social norms. Small-area demographic changes affect social structures related to health and so, could modify neighbourhood norms, lead to loneliness, or increased stress. Thus, demographic changes and perceived neighbourhood social cohesion are likely to interact in their relation to health. ...

Gratitude in fundraising: do ‘thank you in advance’ and handwritten thank you notes impact fundraising success?

While almost all charities rely on a set of donor appreciation strategies, their effectiveness for the success of fundraising campaigns is underresearched. Through two preregistered field studies conducted in collaboration with a leading German opera house (N = 10,000), we explore the significance of expressing gratitude and examine two different approaches to doing so. Our first study investigates ...

Erwerbsminderungsrente: Reduzieren Partnerschaften das Zugangsrisiko?

Die Deutsche Rentenversicherung verzeichnet jährlich rund 165 000 Neuzugänge in die Erwerbsminderungsrente. Das Risiko einer Erwerbsminderung hängt von verschiedenen, nicht nur individuellen Faktoren ab. Vor dem Hintergrund der Bedeutung von Partnerschaften für die Gesundheit, der Herausforderungen bei der Beantragung einer Erwerbsminderungsrente und des wachsenden Anteils von Personen, die nicht in ...

An Updated Polygenic Index Repository: Expanded Phenotypes, New Cohorts, and Improved Causal Inference

Polygenic indexes (PGIs) — DNA-based predictors of individual phenotypes — have become essential tools across biomedical and social sciences. We introduce Version 2 of the Polygenic Index Repository, which expands phenotype coverage from 47 to 61, increases the number of participating datasets from 11 to 20, and adopts a more consistent and improved methodology for PGI construction. For 16 phenotypes, ...

Is Germany Missing Out or Catching Up? Gender Inequality and the German Skilled Immigration Act

Germany?s Skilled Worker Immigration Act addresses labor shortages by targeting non-EU migrants. The literature emphasizes that such policies often overlook gender-specific challenges, reinforcing inequalities. Using the German Socio-Economic Panel (2013?2022), we reveal significant disadvantages for non-EU migrant women. We find that deskilling and the sexual division of paid and unpaid working time ...
