Artificial Intelligence in Germany: Employees Often Unaware They Are Working with AI-Based Systems

Using a new SOEP-IS data module on digitalization including information on the prevalence of AI use in the workplace, this report shows that the term “artificial intelligence” often remains inscrutable in the day-to-day work of many employees. When asked directly about the use of digital systems with the term “artificial intelligence,” around 20 percent of the working respondents in the sample indicate ...

A domain-differentiated approach to everyday emotion regulation from adolescence to older age

Flexibly using different emotion-regulation (ER) strategies in different situational contexts, such as domains, has been argued to promote effective emotion regulation. Additionally, emotion regulation processes may change with age as narrowing time horizons shift emotion-regulation preferences. The purpose of the present study was to examine the occurrence and effectiveness of flexible emotion regulation ...

The education of recently arrived refugees in Germany. Conditions, processes, and outcomes

Around the world, the number of refugees is at a record high. Although most forcibly displaced persons seek refuge within their home country or in a neighboring state (UNHCR, 2020), a large number of refugees have reached Europe in recent years, and many of them have settled in Germany (Eurostat, 2020). As many refugees were children and adolescents when they arrived in Germany (Bundesamt für Migration ...

Reduktion und partnerschaftliche Aufteilung unbezahlter Sorgearbeit erhöhen Erwerbsbeteiligung von Frauen

In Deutschland ist es noch ein weiter Weg zu einer partnerschaftlichen Aufteilung der Erwerbs- und Sorgearbeit zwischen Männern und Frauen: Bei den Beschäftigungsquoten und im Erwerbsumfang liegen Frauen deutlich hinter Männern, bei der Kinderbetreuung und Hausarbeit ist es umgekehrt. Diese ungleichen Zeitverwendungen stehen in unmittelbarem Zusammenhang zueinander: Ökonometrische Analysen in diesem ...

Gender Pay Gap ist in den letzten 30 Jahren fast nur bei Jüngeren gesunken

Der Gender Pay Gap, also die Verdienstlücke zwischen Frauen und Männern, ist in den vergangenen Jahren langsam, aber kontinuierlich auf 18 Prozent gesunken. Wie dieser Bericht auf Basis von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) anlässlich des bevorstehenden Equal Pay Days zeigt, unterscheidet sich der Rückgang allerdings sehrstark nach dem Alter: Während der Gender Pay Gap bei den unter 30-Jährigen ...

Belonging or Estrangement – The European Refugee Crisis and its Effects on Immigrant Identity

This study deals with the impact of the 2015 European Refugee Crisis on the ethnic identity of resident migrants in Germany. To derive plausibly causal estimates, I exploit the quasi experimental setting in Germany, by which refugees are allocated to different counties by state authorities without being able to choose their locations themselves. This study finds that higher shares of refugees in a ...

The Length of Schooling and the Timing of Family Formation

Individuals typically traverse several life phases before forming a family. We analyze whether changing the duration of one of these phases, the education phase, affects the timing of marriage and childbearing. For this purpose, we exploit the introduction of short school years (SSYs) in Germany in 1966–1967, which compressed the education phase without affecting the curriculum. Based on difference-in-differences ...

In Debt but Still Happy? Homeownership and the Satisfactions with Housing and Life

We investigate the relationship between homeownership and life as well as housing satisfaction. Using panel data from Germany, we find that compared to renting, owning a home positively impacts housing satisfaction. Contrarily, we find no significant effects on life satisfaction in the long-term. Analysing short-term effects in an event-study design, we show that both life and housing satisfaction ...

Mietpreisregulierung kann ökonomische Ungleichheit senken, hat aber einen Preis

Im Verlauf des 20. Jahrhunderts haben Regierungen die Regulierung von Mietpreisen häufig eingesetzt, um insbesondere in Krisenzeiten auch bei knappem Wohnraum Mieten bezahlbar zu halten. Bisherige Forschung hat gezeigt, dass diese Regulierung allerdings mit gesamtgesellschaftlichen Wohlstandsverlusten, Misallokation am Markt und anderen unerwünschten Nebeneffekten wie sinkendem Wohnungsangebot und ...
