One of the most established approaches to explain attitudes toward immigration is group conflict theory.

We used the 1996 wave of the German Socio-Economic ...

The present study tested if worries about the economy was associated with life satisfaction and if this association was mediated by individuals’ self-reported number of close friends. A longitudinal mediation model was employed across three time points with data from the beginning of the recession in 2008, the midst of the recession in 2011, and the recovery phase in 2013.

This paper provides novel evidence on the effect of firm level interventions that seek to reduce the work–life conflict. The focus is on how childcare support affects the well-being, working time, and caring behaviour of mothers with young children. Since the mid-2000s and pushed by public policies, in Germany an increasing ...
