This study investigates the impact of child-related absence from work on the income of working mothers and fathers, addressing a significant research gap in sociology and labour economics.

How do students’ earnings expectations differ by being the first in their family to attend university (FiF) and how do they affect field of study choice? We leverage unique survey and administrative data to document sizable gaps in expected earnings between FiF and non-FiF students. Our data can explain two-thirds of this gap, with the largest share attributable to field of study choice. We show that ...

This paper investigates whether individuals’ relative (status or positional) concerns are associated with their transitions from paid employment or inactivity to self-employment. The conjecture is that stress and anxiety arising from socio-economic comparisons may be motivating factors for individuals to establish their own businesses. We examine this using the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) dataset, ...

Motivated by research on gender identity norms and the distribution of the woman’s share in a couple’s total labor income, we consider additive regression models for densities as responses with scalar covariates. To preserve nonnegativity and integration to one under vector space operations, we formulate the model for densities in a Bayes Hilbert space, which allows to not only consider continuous ...

This study pursues two objectives: First, to describe how gender disparities in wealth levels vary by parental class and second, to examine the contribution of the gendered allocation of parental wealth to these differences. It thereby sheds light on the interplay between family background and gender in shaping wealth inequality. Using representative survey data from Germany, I find pronounced absolute ...

Increasing age with migration status might have a double risk of vulnerability to poor health outcomes. There is a lack of population-based studies on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of older migrants in India. This study compares the HRQoL between older migrants and non-migrant populations in India and examines the role of migration-related factors. The Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) ...

This cumulative thesis raises the overarching research question: How does fixed-term employment affect well-being? Three smaller, more specific research questions emerge from this primary research question. First, what are the short- and long-term effects of fixed-term employment for the well-being of individuals and couples? Second, what are the mechanisms explaining the effects of fixed-term employment ...
