Die Freizeitgestaltung hat in modernen Gesellschaften einen hohen Stellenwert. 'Lebens-und Konsumstile' spiegeln sich in unterschiedlichen Freizeitaktivitäten wider, wobei sie oft im Konsum von Waren und Dienstleistungen vollzogen werden.

Human Capital Theory is the dominating approach to explain individual wage differences. Consequently, the available stock of human capital in general and of the educational level in particular is the central characteristic for individual labour market success respectively the amount of wages.

Although prosperity and a fair distribution of life chances belong to the constitutional socio-political aims in modern societies, we can observe that considerable distributional differences of material and immaterial resources still exist.

We show that the choice of the welfare measure has a substantial impact on the degree of welfare-related health inequality. Combining various income and wealth measures with different health measures, we calculate 80 health concentration indices. The influence of the welfare measure is more pronounced when using subjective health measures than when using objective health measures.

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 ...
