After describing qualitatively the increasingly flexible organization of work hours in Germany, I turn to the German Socio-Economic Panel to quantify practices and trends, and assess their effects on workers and employers. Measuring flexibility as the extent to which overtime is compensated with time off, and hence receives no overtime premium, I show that hourly-paid workers have undergone a regime ...

Nachdem die bitteren Notlagen des Zweiten Weltkriegs überwunden waren, setzte in Westdeutschland nach der Währungsreform 1948 eine wirtschaftliche Aufwärtsentwicklung ein. Das sogenannte Wirtschaftswunder ließ Einkommen, Vermögen und Wohlstand anwachsen. Dieses Wohlstandswachstum kam zunächst auch dem Lebensstandard wirtschaftlich eher schwacher Schichten zugute. Gleichwohl hatte das viel gepriesene ...
