Contributing to a growing literature on sibling correlations, this paper is the first to present results for Germany. On the basis of data from the GSOEP, around one third of the variance or inequality in permanent earnings for men and around one fourth for women can be attributed to family characteristics during childhood. This indicates a slightly lower influence of family on women’s outcomes. The ...

Around 37 percent of those in paid full-time employment in Germany did not claim their full vacation entitlement last year. The number of vacation days actually taken by each employee was on average three days less than the full entitlement. This equates to around twelve percent of the overall volume of vacation entitlement not being used. This figure is corroborated by data from the German Socio-Economic ...
