    Remittances and Gender: Theoretical Considerations and Empirical Evidence

    In this paper, we focus on network- and gender-specific determinants of remittances, which are often explained theoretically by way of intra-family contracts.

    Why Men Might "Have It All" While Women Still Have to Choose between Career and Family in Germany

    This study used data from the German Socio-economic Panel to examine gender differences in the extent to which self-reported subjective well-being was associated with occupying a high-level managerial position in the labour market, compared with employment in non-leadership, non-high-level managerial positions, unemployment, and non-labour market participation. Our results indicated that a clear hierarchy ...

    Maternal Labor Market Return, Parental Leave Policies, and Gender Inequality in Housework

    This study investigates how the duration of the work interruption and the labor market status of mothers upon their return affect the division of housework in couples after a birth. By observing several parental leave policy reforms in Britain and West-Germany, this research also explores how extended leave entitlements for mothers influence the division of housework. The analysis uses multilevel multiprocess ...
