To date, PHMR has often relied on male/female stratification, but rarely considers the complex, intersecting social positions of men and women in describing the prevalence of health and disease. Stratification on an Intersectional Gender-Score (IG-Score), which is based on a variety of social covariables, would allow comparison of the prevalence of individuals who share the same complex intersectional ...

Daher fehlen ihnen häufig wichtige Informationen über berufliche Anforderungen und die Funktionsweise des Arbeitsmarktes in Deutschland. Das kann die Wahrnehmungen und die Einschätzungen von arbeitsuchenden Geflüchteten über Erwerbschancen und erzielbare Löhne verzerren. Dieser Bericht ...

Research on the consequences of works councils has been dominated by economic aspects. Our study provides evidence that works councils have nonfinancial consequences for civic society that go beyond the narrow boundaries of the workplace.

A definite answer would be crucial for economic policy-making. The goal of this paper is to show that the evidential foundations of this debate can be advanced with survey data on wellbeing. For this purpose, ...
