Beim heutigen Flüchtlingsgipfel im Kanzleramt wird vor allem ums Geld gestritten – und um die Frage, ob Migration begrenzt werden soll. In den Hintergrund rückt die Integration derer, die schon hier sind – und noch kommen werden. Der Arbeitsmarkt-Check.

The fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 resulted in a severe economic downturn and a stark temporary decline in fertility in East Germany. But did it also affect the fertility of future generations? In this paper, I investigate early motherhood – a marker of lifetime disadvantage – of those born in the years immediately after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Using data from the German Socioeconomic ...

In this article, we introduce a methodology to measure employment precarity in cross-country research based on individual career data from national panel surveys. First, we propose a measure of employment precarity, which is comparable across countries differing in their institutions, legal regulations and practices concerning the organization of labor relations. To address the comparability issues ...

German family policy was dramatically reformed in the 2000s because of dual reforms to parental leave and childcare provision. While considerable evidence has suggested the reforms affected employment and other outcomes, this article asks what the consequences of these reforms are for the family, specifically for patterns of work-family arrangements. Moreover, it asks how education matters for work-family ...

This paper develops a macroeconomic model that combines an incomplete-markets overlapping-generations economy with a job ladder featuring sequential wage bargaining, endogenous search effort of employed and non-employed workers, and differences in match quality. The calibrated model offers a good fit to the empirical age profiles of search activity, job-finding rates, wages and savings, so that we ...

According to the segmentation theory, low-skilled jobs belong to the secondary sector of the labour market. Low-skilled jobs do not require vocational training and workers are interchangeable. Therefore, workers in this sector have poor working conditions and are regularly affected by employment interruptions. The current state of research, however, does not provide any longitudinal information about ...

Home ownership status is closely linked to social inequality in Germany, where tenants face several disadvantages in multiple dimensions. Even though Germany is one of the biggest renter and therefore landlord nations, in the context of the housing question it is the demand side that has been discussed and studied most. Less attention has been given to the supply side, particularly individual small-scale ...

Lange Zeit galt der öffentliche Dienst als attraktiver Arbeitgeber für Menschen, die eine sichere und langfristige Beschäftigung mit klar definierten Karriereperspektiven anstrebten. Als Konsequenz der Reformen ab den 1990er Jahren wurde jedoch häufig diagnostiziert, dass der öffentliche Dienst an Attraktivität eingebüßt habe. Weitgehend unerforscht ist jedoch, ob die Beschäftigten im öffentlichen ...
