The data used come from the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), which provides not only contractual working hours but also actual hours worked. Using a difference-in-differences estimation approach, we find a significant and robust reduction in contractual working hours ...

Die „Rente mit 67“ ist ein zentraler rentenpolitischer Baustein zur Bewältigung der Folgen des demografischen Wandels. Sie sieht vor, dass das Regelrenteneintrittsalter zwischen 2012 und 2031 von 65 auf 67 Jahre steigt. Allerdings geht diese Strategie nur dann auf, wenn es den Menschen gelingt, ihren Erwerbsaustritt auch wirklich in ein höheres Alter zu verschieben. Unter den aktuell sehr günstigen ...

Sowohl Frauen als auch Männer bewerten es als gerecht, wenn Frauen für dieselbe Arbeit ein geringeres Gehalt bekommen als Männer. Das zeigen aktuelle Auswertungen eines umfragebasierten Experiments, das im Rahmen eines von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft geförderten Projekts durchgeführt wurde. Demnach wird ein im Durchschnitt um drei Prozent geringeres Gehalt für Frauen bei sonst gleichen Merkmalen, ...

In research on stratification and inequality, administrative data are popular for their wide coverage and assumed high quality. Yet, the quality of the data depends crucially on the aim of data collection. In this paper, we investigate the quality of information on education in administrative data from social security records provided by the German Federal Institute for Employment Research where education ...

We here explore the link between individual concerns about crime and the distribution of income in Germany. We make use of 1995-2017 microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) to show that both individual polarization and relative deprivation have statistically-significant effects on reported concerns about crime, while relative satisfaction plays no role. At the aggregate level, the main ...

Major economic, environmental, or social shocks induce uncertainty, which in turn may impact economic development and may require institutional change. Based on the idea that catastrophic events (CEs) affect people’s perceptions of reality and judgments about the future, this paper analyzes the effect of CEs on people’s worries in terms of social, economic, and environmental issues. In particular, ...

Previous research has shown that women providing family care tend to decrease paid work. We take the opposite perspective and examine how current and previous family care tasks influence women’s likelihood to (re-)enter employment or to increase working hours. Family care is defined as caring for an ill, disabled or frail elderly partner, parent, or other family member. Using German Socio-Economic ...

This paper estimates the effects of parental retirement on the fertility of their adult children. We use representative panel data from Germany to link observations on parents and their adult children. We exploit eligibility ages ...
