The HR-manager is seen as a mediator ...

Contemporary career research assumes more flexible career patterns implying increased job mobility. However, there is growing doubt that the proclaimed change is as drastic as has been suggested. We provide empirical evidence on career expectations in Germany between 1999 and 2009, arguing that objective career mobility is both a) mirrored by and b) a consequence of such expectations. Using data from ...

The phenomenon of overindebted private households has created economic and political concern, also in Germany. Using measures of relative (over-) indebtedness which relate household income and debt services to different concepts of subsistence level, this paper investigates the question whether severe household indebtedness is mainly driven by trigger events such as unemployment, childbirth, divorce, ...
