Sozioökonomischer Status und freiwilliges Engagement

Freiwilliges Engagement ist an Voraussetzungen geknüpft: Die bisherige Forschung zum Engagement hat gezeigt, dass ein hoher sozioökonomischer Status in der Regel förderlich für die Ausübung einer freiwilligen Tätigkeit ist (siehe beispielsweise Gensicke 2015; Schmidt 2014). Personen aus höheren Schichten sind deutlich häufiger und auch dauerhafter engagiert als Personen aus niedrigeren sozialen Schichten ...

Ostdeutsche Männer um 50 müssen mit geringeren Renten rechnen

Die Lebensläufe der deutschen Babyboomer (geboren zwischen 1956 und 1965) unterscheiden sich deutlich von denen vorangegangener Kohorten. Insgesamt zeigt sich eine zunehmende Vielfalt der Erwerbsverläufe. Insbesondere in Ostdeutschland sind diese von Brüchen geprägt, mit häufigeren oder längeren Phasen der Arbeitslosigkeit. Diese Entwicklung hat Folgen für die Anwartschaften in der Gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung. ...

Changing employment patterns of women in Germany: How do baby boomers differ from older cohorts? A comparison using sequence analysis

In the present study, we examine employment biographies of women using the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). Specifically, we compare the cohort of the baby boomers (1956–1965) with two older cohorts (1936–1945 and 1946–1955) by carrying out sequence analyses to investigate changes in their employment careers. Based on the biography sequences, we consider four different clusters to identify typical ...

The double German transformation: Changing male employment patterns in East and West Germany

Before the 90s, men’s employment careers in East and West Germany were quite similar, despite their widely differing institutional settings. Before reunification, employment biographies were mainly dominated by full-time employment in both East and West. After 1989 the GDR was incorporated into the Federal Republic of Germany and almost all East German institutions were supplanted by adapted West German ...

Parenthood and Subsequent Employment: Changes in the Labor Participation of Fathers Across Cohorts as Compared to Mothers

In the literature there is plenty of evidence available on the effect of childbearing on female employment biographies. In the present paper, we extend the analysis to men and show how parenthood differently affects employment biographies of men and women. We also investigate how these differences change with time. Concretely, we are interested in the question whether in the process of social change ...

Separate paths, same direction? De-standardization of male employment biographies in East and West Germany

Until the mid-1980s, labour markets in Germany were characterized by a high level of employment stability. Employment biographies of men were dominated by full-time employment in both East and West Germany and were hence quite similar in this respect, despite the two regions’ enormously different institutional settings. Since that time however, important changes have occurred. Labour markets have become ...

DC-Obesity: A New Model for Estimating Differential Lifetime Costs of Overweight and Obesity by Socioeconomic Status

Objective :The aim of this study was to quantify the magnitude of lifetime costs of overweight and obesity by socioeconomic status (SES). Methods: Differential Costs (DC)-Obesity is a new model that uses time-to-event simulation and the Markov modeling approach to compare lifetime excess costs of overweight and obesity among individuals with low, middle, and high SES. SES was measured by a multidimensional ...
