Vaccination has been critical to reducing infections and deaths during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. While previous studies have investigated attitudes toward taking a vaccine, studies on the determinants of COVID-19 vaccination behavior are scant.

Heterogeneity in Family Life Course Patterns and Intra-Cohort Wealth Disparities in Late Working Age

Considering soaring wealth inequalities in older age, this research addresses the relationship between family life courses and widening wealth differences between individuals as they age. We holistically examine how childbearing and marital histories are associated with personal wealth at ages 50–59 for Western Germans born between 1943 and 1967. We propose that deviations from culturally and institutionally-supported ...

Do workers accumulate resources during continuous employment and lose them during unemployment, and what does that mean for their subjective well-being?

Drawing on cumulative advantage/disadvantage and conservation of resources theories, I investigated changes in economic, social, and personal resources and in subjective well-being (SWB) of workers as they stayed continuously employed or continuously unemployed. I considered age, gender, and SES as potential amplifiers of inequality in resources and SWB. Using 28 yearly waves from the German Socio-Economic ...

Data on Digital Transformation in the German Socio-Economic Panel

Public debates and current research on “digitalization” suggest that digital technologies could profoundly transform the world of work. While broad claims are common in these debates, empirical evidence remains scarce. This calls for reliable data for empirical research and evidence-based policymaking.

100 Jahre Betriebsrätegesetz und aktuelle Partizipation von Beschäftigten in Deutschland

Am 4. Februar 1920 trat in Deutschland das erste Betriebsrätegesetz in Kraft. Nachdem es 1934 ausgesetzt worden war, führte der Alliierte Kontrollrat die betriebliche Mitbestimmung 1946 wieder ein. Nach mehreren Reformen hat sich die Mitbestimmung etabliert. Während aber in Großunternehmen die betriebliche Mitbestimmung fest verankert ist, wird im Mittelstand eher auf weniger institutionalisierte Beteiligungsformen ...

Diversität oder Diskriminierung im Management?: Diskriminierungserfahrungen, Outing, emotionales Wohlbefinden und Lebenszufriedenheit von lesbischen, schwulen und bisexuellen Führungskräften

Dieser Beitrag liefert einen Einblick in die bislang wenig untersuchte Arbeitsmarktsituation von lesbischen, schwulen und bisexuellen Führungskräften. Basierend auf Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) wird zunächst mittels deskriptiver Verteilungen (nach Branche, Unternehmensgröße und Arbeitszeit) die Arbeitsmarktsituation von Führungskräften nach sexueller Orientierung und Geschlecht betrachtet. ...

Germany’s low SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence confirms effective containment in 2020: Results of the nationwide RKI-SOEP study

Pre-vaccine SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence data from Germany are scarce outside hotspots, and socioeconomic disparities remained largely unexplored. The nationwide RKI-SOEP study with 15,122 adult participants investigated seroprevalence and testing in a supplementary wave of the Socio-Economic-Panel conducted predominantly in October-November 2020. Self-collected oral-nasal swabs were PCR-positive in 0.4% ...
