Unbezahlte Arbeit: Hausarbeit, Kinderbetreuung und Pflege

Frauen werden in der Debatte um einen Fachkräftemangel häufig als «ungenutztes Arbeitskräftepotenzial» charakterisiert. Da Frauen weniger häufig und zu weniger Stunden auf dem formalen Arbeitsmarkt eingebunden sind, wird oft eine stärkere Präsenz auf dem formalen Arbeitsmarkt gefordert. Tatsächlich arbeiten Frauen mehr als Männer, wenn die Zeit berücksichtigt wird, die Frauen für unbezahlte Arbeit ...

Fair crack of the whip? The distribution of augmented wealth in Australia from 2002 to 2018

The omission of pension wealth potentially distorts the international comparison of wealth distributions. Private pension wealth is often included in households’ wealth portfolios, while public pension claims are not. Augmented wealth, the sum of net worth and pension wealth, resolves this limitation by including the present value of social security pension wealth. This article provides a detailed ...

How Many Brackets Should We Ask For to Derive Adequate Metric Information for Income and Wealth?

This paper investigates how the number of brackets and the choice of upper cut-offs in grouped data affect the metric approximation of income and wealth. The literature currently lacks a definition of what should be considered too few brackets or too-low cut-offs. Using German survey data, we show that more than six (eight) brackets and an upper cut-off at the 95th (97th) percentile are sufficient ...

Neuroticism, emotional stress reactivity and recovery in daily life: Examining extraversion and openness as moderators

Emotional stressor reactivity and recovery from stressors are associated with the personality trait neuroticism. We examined whether higher extraversion or openness might buffer these associations in daily life. Participants from two age-heterogeneous samples (lifespan: n = 364, aged 14–88 years; late adulthood: n = 170, aged 66–89 years) answered personality questionnaires and reported their momentary ...

Basic Income - From Vision to Creeping Transformation of the Welfare State

The present publication constitutively expands the field of discourse on the topic of basic income and explores the possibilities of its introduction as well as the opportunities and risks. Although all visionary proposals for an unconditional basic income (BGE) have so far not been implemented politically, at least in democratically constituted welfare states, the question of implementation or the ...

Klimageld als Transformationshebel – Gestaltungspotenziale und Umsetzungsblockaden

Klimasozialpolitik als Pfeiler der Nachhaltigkeitswende

In der Literatur zum Klimawandel taucht der Sozialstaat kaum auf – und dies gilt auch für die politischen Diskurse. Zur Verkoppelung der Energie- und Klimakrise mit einer Weiterentwicklung des Systems der sozialen Sicherung führen wir den Begriff der Klimasozialpolitik ein, um den sozial unausgewogenen „Weiter-So“-Pfad zu verlassen. Mit Hilfe eines pauschalen Direktzahlungsmechanismus kann ein Instrument ...
