Vor 20 Jahren wurde im Zuge der Rentenreform 2001 die Einführung der Riester-Rente beschlossen: Die Riester-Rente sollte ein wesentlicher Baustein des Alterssicherungssystems in Deutschland werden und das sinkende Niveau der gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung mindestens ausgleichen. Daten, die im Rahmen des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels erhoben wurden, zeigen, dass dieses Ziel bisher nicht erreicht wurde. ...

Introduced 20 years ago as a part of the 2001 pension reform, the Riester pension is meant to function as an essential component of the German pension system with the aim of compensating for decreasing public pensions. However, data collected by the SOEP show that this objective has not yet been achieved. For ten years, use of the Riester pension plan has been stagnating at around 25 percent of the ...

Wealth is an increasingly important dimension of economic well-being and is attracting rising attention in discussions of social inequality. In this article, we compare – within and across countries – wealth outcomes, and link those to both employment-related factors and policy solutions that have the potential to improve wealth creation and retirement security for women. By constructing country-specific ...

Inequalities in health are a prevalent feature of societies. And as societies, we condemn inequalities that are rooted in immutable circumstances such as gender, race, and parental background.

Mit Blick auf Prozesse der dreigenerationalen Vererbung von Bildung in Deutschland fokussieren wir dabei insbesondere auf Muster von Gegenmobilität, indem wir Auf- und Abstiege der Elterngeneration in den Blick nehmen.

This article examines how contact with perceived foreigners affects natives’ attitudes towards immigration. Using six waves of individual level panel data from Germany (2007–2017), we find that natives’ reported mutual visits with foreigners reduce worries about immigration. However, the results do not imply an increase in this effect in the course of repeated contact. Our analyses also consider the ...

Since decades, only one fourth of German households invest in shares. One exception was during the three IPOs from 1996 to 2000 of the Deutsche Telekom, which gave Germans a taste to enter the stock market. However, the fall in the share price shortly after the second IPO, followed by corruption scandals of the company, put an end to their enthusiasm. The present study based on SOEP data shows that ...
