Job satisfaction helps create a committed workforce with many positive effects, such as increased organisational citizenship behaviour and reduced absenteeism. In turn, job satisfaction can be increased through gratifications, such as wage increases and promotions.

To obtain a more complete understanding of the persisting gender earnings gap in Germany, this paper investigates both the cross-sectional and biographical dimension of gender inequalities. Using an Oaxaca Blinder decomposition, we show that the gender gap in annual earnings is largely driven by women’s lower work experience and intensive margin of labor supply. Based on a dynamic microsimulation model, ...

To what extent has the closing of the gender gap in hourly wages (‘gender wage gap’; GWG) in Western Germany stalled due to an increasing supply of non-standard working hours? We use descriptive trend analyses and Juhn–Murphy–Pierce decompositions of German Socio-Economic Panel data for the last 30 years (1985–2014) to analyse the extent to which the expansion of part-time and marginal work, as well ...

Constructing measures of post-tax income inequality that are consistent with national accounts requires the allocation of the entirety of government expenditure to individuals. About half of government expenditure in the United States takes the form of in-kind collective expenditure (e.g., education, defense, infrastructure). The dominant assumption in the literature is to allocate this expenditure ...

The German government recently made a large number of changes to migration legislation, in relation to asylum seekers and refugees who have immigrated since 2015. While the impact of some reforms may be socio-political, most of them also have fiscal implications. This study uses generational accounting to analyse the effects of these legislative changes on the German fiscal system. The results show ...

The present study aims at comparing physical and mental health outcomes of different migrant groups and the native German population, testing for the presence of a healthy migrant effect (HME) and its potential differences between groups. The HME is marked by an observed health advantage for migrants compared to the host population, which declines with increasing years since migration. Macroeconomic, ...

This study examines the role of occupational classes in the Gender Wealth Gap (GWG). Despite rising interest in gender differences in wealth, the central role of occupations in restricting and enabling its accumulation has been neglected thus far. Drawing on the German Socio-Economic Panel, this study employs quantile regressions and decomposition techniques. It finds explanatory power of occupational ...

This article explores the composition of the personal social networks and their interrelation with the family context of recently arrived refugees in Germany. Using the Refugee Sample of the German Socio-Economic Panel (2017) and performing logistic regression analyses, the findings suggest that refugees living without their partner, children, or extended family in Germany are more likely to have at ...

Lazear's jack-of-all-trades view of entrepreneurship predicts that individuals with a more balanced skill set are more likely to enter entrepreneurship. This relationship is often explained by either the investment or the endowment hypothesis. Both hypotheses describe skill balancing by those more interested in entrepreneurship per se. Previous studies which have attempted to determine the relative ...
