Erwerbsminderungsrente: Reduzieren Partnerschaften das Zugangsrisiko?

Die Deutsche Rentenversicherung verzeichnet jährlich rund 165 000 Neuzugänge in die Erwerbsminderungsrente. Das Risiko einer Erwerbsminderung hängt von verschiedenen, nicht nur individuellen Faktoren ab. Vor dem Hintergrund der Bedeutung von Partnerschaften für die Gesundheit, der Herausforderungen bei der Beantragung einer Erwerbsminderungsrente und des wachsenden Anteils von Personen, die nicht in ...

An Updated Polygenic Index Repository: Expanded Phenotypes, New Cohorts, and Improved Causal Inference

Polygenic indexes (PGIs) — DNA-based predictors of individual phenotypes — have become essential tools across biomedical and social sciences. We introduce Version 2 of the Polygenic Index Repository, which expands phenotype coverage from 47 to 61, increases the number of participating datasets from 11 to 20, and adopts a more consistent and improved methodology for PGI construction. For 16 phenotypes, ...

Is Germany Missing Out or Catching Up? Gender Inequality and the German Skilled Immigration Act

Germany?s Skilled Worker Immigration Act addresses labor shortages by targeting non-EU migrants. The literature emphasizes that such policies often overlook gender-specific challenges, reinforcing inequalities. Using the German Socio-Economic Panel (2013?2022), we reveal significant disadvantages for non-EU migrant women. We find that deskilling and the sexual division of paid and unpaid working time ...

Backlash or Inclusion? The Political Effects of Co-Ethnic Immigration

Immigration often causes backlash, to the benefit of anti-immigrant parties. Most studies that identify the effect of immigration on native attitudes and behaviors leverage variation in inflows of newcomers who are ethnically distinct from natives. Can we therefore conclude that backlash is the general consequence of exposure to large migration flows? We theorize co-ethnic migrants are not met with ...

Split Questionnaire Designs as a clever way to make surveys shorter

Long questionnaires are a challenge for respondents and researchers alike. Split Questionnaire Designs (SQDs, Raghunathan and Grizzle, 1995) offer a clever way to make surveys shorter: instead of answering every question, respondents receive only parts of the full questionnaire. But how these parts—or “modules”—are constructed makes a difference for data quality. Our study tests strategies to balance ...

The Distribution of National Income in Germany, 1992-2019

This paper analyzes the distribution and composition of pre-tax national income in Germany since 1992, combining personal income tax returns, household survey data, and national accounts. Inequality rose from the 1990s to the late 2000s due to falling labor incomes among the bottom 50% and rising incomes in the top 10%. This trend reversed after 2007 as labor incomes across the bottom 90% increased. ...

Employment quality and mental health in Germany: The mismatch of low employment quality with work and family values by gender

Empirical evidence on whether low-quality employment is detrimental to workers’ mental health is mostly cross-sectional and empirical evidence on pathways linking employment quality (EQ) to mental health remains scarce. Consequently, this study examines subsequent mental health associations of low-quality employment. Associations between EQ and mental health are investigated through a typology of employment ...

“Time without you”: Transition to widowhood and its impact on time perspective and attitudes toward the future

Widowhood is a significant life event that can profoundly alter an individual’s perception of time. Those who have lost a spouse often find themselves reflecting on past memories, while simultaneously feeling disconnected from the present. However, the impact of widowhood on one’s experience and perception of time has not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we investigate changes in time perspective ...
