Background: Characterized by uncertainty and recurring periods of social isolation, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in increases of loneliness and distress in young adults, such as university students. Despite the lifting of the last restrictions in Germany in April 2023, the state of mental health in vulnerable groups after the three-year global crisis remains to be investigated. Therefore, we aimed ...

Background Health system resilience, the ability of a health system to maintain its functions under stress, has received increasing attention in recent years. Shortcomings in health system resilience are often most visible in the most vulnerable settings, including the care for asylum seekers and refugees.

Neben Gesundheitsämtern informieren andere Behörden über Nutzen und Risiken von Impfungen. Weitere Informationsquellen sind z.B. die ärztliche Praxis, Apotheken, Fernsehen, soziale Medien, aber auch private Gespräche. Einige Informationsquellen bieten unabsichtlich, andere gezielt Fehlinformationen ...

This paper examines the factors shaping refugees? institutionalised and generalised trust, focusing on three key influences: (1) pre-arrival migration effects, such as experiences of trauma; (2) asylum procedure effects, including the length and outcome of the process and perceptions of fairness; and (3) post-procedure effects, particularly the context of reception. Using data from the IAB-BAMF-SOEP ...

We examine the association between cohabitation and women’s and men’s wealth, closely considering the distinct regulatory and normative contexts in France and Eastern and Western Germany. Using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (2002–2017) and the French wealth survey Histoire de Vie et Patrimoine (2014/15-2020/21), we apply fixed-effects regression models to examine potential ...

Background: Capturing the complexity of family life courses as predictors of later-life outcomes like wealth is challenging. Previous research has either (a) assessed a few selective but potentially irrelevant summary indicators, or (b) examined entire life-course clusters without identifying specific important aspects within and between them. Objective: Our aim is to investigate which family life-course ...

Objectives A large body of evidence shows poorer mental health among lower socioeconomic groups, with chronic stress being an important pathway in this relationship. It was expected that the mental health of people with low socioeconomic status may have been particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. While it has been established that stress also impacted mental health during the pandemic, the ...

Employment is widely considered a key coping strategy for women against the economic burden of divorce. However, few studies have explored how women adjust their labor supply across the divorce process, particularly considering the moderating role of children’s presence and age. This study uses longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) from 1984 to 2021 in an event-study approach ...

In this article, we introduce the command beyondpareto, which estimates the extreme-value index for distributions that are Pareto-like, that is, whose upper tails are regularly varying and eventually become Pareto. The estimation is based on rank-size regressions, and the threshold value for the upper-order statistics included in the final regression is determined optimally by minimizing the asymptotic ...

Soziale Stratifikation entsteht durch Ungleichverteilung von gesellschaftlich relevanten Ressourcen wie Geld, Bildungszertifikate oder soziale Kontakte. EmotionssoziologInnen fügen dem eine weitere Dimension hinzu, indem sie annehmen, dass bestimmte Gefühle, positiv oder negativ, Angst oder Freude, in bestimmten sozialen Statusgruppen öfter (seltener) erlebt werden. Dieser Beitrag schließt an diese ...
