Alongside increasing life expectancy comes the opportunity to extend working life, but whether those extra years are spent with or without multimorbidity is unclear. Existing studies estimated healthy and unhealthy working life expectancy (WLE), defined using binary health indicators, until retirement age and used data from Western countries. However, countries with the greatest burden of population ...

When someone is born dictates the environment, society, and historic events that they will experience and share with other members of their birth cohort as they age. The age at which an individual experiences an adverse event, combined with their early and later-life characteristics, are important determinants of their health and mortality at older ages. South Korea has undergone several major shocks ...

Multimorbidity is increasing globally as populations age. However, it is unclear how long individuals live with multimorbidity and how it varies by social and economic factors. We investigate this in South Africa, whose apartheid history further complicates race, socio-economic, and sex inequalities. We introduce the term ?multimorbid life expectancy? (MMLE) to describe the years lived with multimorbidity. ...

Ethnic minorities are often underrepresented in survey research, due to the challenges many researchers face in including these populations. Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) was developed in the late 1990s in order to investigate populations otherwise “hidden” from researchers due to a lack of extant sampling frames. RDS relies on individuals who recruit their fellow population members, allowing samples ...

Lateral entry into the VET system can be considered a highly promising prospect for the socio-economic integration of young refugees in Germany. With this in mind, multiple active labor market programs (ALMPs) for refugees have been launched and expanded, the best known being the ESF-BAMF program and various measures provided by the Federal Employment Agency (FEA). Using data from the IAB-BAMF-SOEP ...

The article examines the extent to which gender roles as well as the human capital resources acquired in the country of origin are associated with refugee women’s chances of taking up vocational education and training (VET) in Germany. It follows the assumption that traditional gender roles, which assign women to the domestic sphere, can affect refugee women’s behavior either directly or through social ...

OBJECTIVE: Previous research has linked job insecurity to health deterioration. The risk accumulation model suggests that health effects of job insecurity may persist even after job security is restored, yet long-term empirical analyses are scarce. Our study evaluates the long-term effects of accumulated exposures to affective job insecurity on mental and physical health among the working-age population ...

This study provides novel evidence on how risk exposure shapes demand for index-based weather insurance. The focus is on Mongolia, where index-based livestock insurance is offered as a commercial product to pastoralists threatened by extreme weather events that cause high livestock mortality. The analysis draws on district-level data covering the whole country, spanning eleven years. Our study exploits ...

Within an analytical approach that mirrors the relationship between road deterioration, traffic load, and road renewal, we estimate the marginal costs of road renewals as part of a social marginal cost scheme for road charging. Based on a comprehensive data set for German motor ways, we estimate a Weibull dura tion model with shared frailties that account for unobserved heterogeneity, including covariates ...

This paper provides the first time series of the gender earnings ratio for the full-time employed workforce in Germany since the 1870s and compares Germany’s path with the Swedish and U.S. cases. The industrialization period yielded slow advances in economic gender relations due to women’s delayed inclusion in the industrial workforce. The first half of the 20th century exhibited a marked leap. In ...
