An occupational aspiration–attainment gap (AAG) is defined as a discrepancy between the socioeconomic status (SES) of the aspired occupation and the one attained.

Eine höhere Beitragsbemessungsgrenze soll die Finanzen der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung (GKV) nachhaltig stabilisieren. Begründet wird dies unter anderem mit einer gerechteren Verteilung der Beitragslast. Das gelänge auch bei einem entsprechend niedrigeren Beitragssatz. Tatsächlich geht es aber wohl eher darum, zusätzliche Einnahmen zu erzielen. Das würde aber nicht nur die Besserverdienenden belasten, ...

Anders als den steigenden Neuvertragsmieten in vielen deutschen Großstädten wird den nur langsam steigenden Bestandsmieten wenig Raum in der öffentlichen Debatte um bezahlbaren Wohnraum eingeräumt. In diesem Beitrag zeigen Bernd Raffelhüschen und Sebastian Will auf Basis der Einkommens- und Verbrauchsstichprobe, dass die Einkommen in den zurückliegenden Jahren stärker gestiegen sind als die Bestandsmieten. ...

Individuals who are socioeconomically disadvantaged are at increased risk for aging-related diseases and perform less well on tests of cognitive function. The weathering hypothesis proposes that these disparities in physical and cognitive health arise from an acceleration of biological processes of aging. Theories of how life adversity is biologically embedded identify epigenetic alterations, including ...
