Weiterhin einsam und weniger zufrieden – Die Covid-19-Pandemie wirkt sich im zweiten Lockdown stärker auf das Wohlbefinden aus

Bereits zu Beginn der Corona-Pandemie und des ersten Lockdowns wurde vermutet, dass die Krise mit einer starken psychischen Belastung der Bevölkerung einhergehen würde. Im zweiten, deutlich längeren, Lockdown wurden diese Befürchtungen noch größer. Denn viele sahen dadurch die psychische Gesundheit der in Deutschland lebenden Menschen akut bedroht. Wie aktuelle Ergebnisse der SOEP-CoV-Studie zeigen, ...

The Global Lives of German Migrants: Consequences of International Migration Across the Life Course

Surveying Across Borders: The Experiences of the German Emigration and Remigration Panel Study (Chapter 2)

International migration is often characterised as a process of immigration from economically less developed to highly developed countries. Whereas the factors driving those flows and the integration of the respective ethnic groups are widely analysed, the international mobility of the populations of precisely those affluent societies is regularly missed and less-frequently studied. The chapter describes ...

Structures of German Emigration and Remigration: Historical Developments and Demographic Patterns (Chapter 3)

Germany today is one of the world’s most important countries of immigration but at the same time a country of emigration. During the last three decades, more than 3.3 million German citizens have left the country whereas 2.5 million have returned. Overall, 3.8 million Germans live outside Germany in another country of the OECD. The chapter analyses basic structures of German emigration and remigration. ...

Economic approaches and socio-cultural integration are still the most prominent frameworks applied to explain return migration and permanent settlement.

Based on a life-course approach, it highlights ...

Brain Drain or Brain Circulation? Economic and Non-Economic Factors Driving the International Migration of German Citizens (Chapter 4)

International movements by people from economically highly developed welfare states are a puzzle for the classic canon of migration theories, which generally focus on flows from less to more developed regions. Based on a simple theoretical framework linking largely disparate literatures on international and internal migration as well as the field of global work experience, this chapter provides an ...

Emigrants’ missing votes

Emigrants are less likely to participate in elections in their home country. They are also self-selected in terms of education, gender, age, and political preferences, changing the structure of the origin population. High emigration rates can therefore have a systematic influence on election results. Using administrative migration and voting data, we show that counties in Poland that have experienced ...

The Happy Migrant? Emigration and its Impact on Subjective Well-Being (Chapter 11)

The chapter asks about possible causal effects of migration on subjective well-being (SWB) measured by self-reported overall life satisfaction. By combining the emigration sample of the German Emigration and Remigration Panel Study (GERPS) with a quasi-counterfactual sample of internationally non-mobile Germans provided by the Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) the difference-in-difference analyses ...
