Households on the move. Simulating the allocation of the population distribution across dwellings

The construction and use of living space require substantial amounts of energy and resources, and generate Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Historically, the increase in total living space has largely offset improvements in building shell efficiency and heating technologies. Average per-capita space continuously rises due to developments such as smaller household sizes, a preference for single-family ...

The impact of dual VET on the unemployment rate of young adults after the financial crisis: a comparison between Germany and the United States

This paper examines whether dual VET enhances labour market resilience for young adults in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Using harmonised microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) for the United States, linked via the Comparative Panel File (CPF), we compare unemployment among 25- to 34-year-olds whose highest attained qualification ...

Generational variation and life‑course accumulation of social inequalities in all-cause mortality in Germany: a cohort-sequential study

Social inequalities in mortality persist as a public health challenge across Europe, including Germany, despite significant health gains. Research shows a lasting social gradient in survival. However, comprehensive longitudinal evidence on cohort and life-course dynamics is limited. We examine trends in social inequalities in all-cause mortality, cohort differences, and whether cumulative low-SES exposure ...

Impact of subsidized childcare on maternal employment: A comparative study on native and migrant women in Germany

This study explores the impact of subsidized childcare on maternal employment, focusing on the heterogeneous effects of Germany's Childcare Funding Act (2013) on native and first- and second-generation migrant mothers. Despite lower childcare use and higher unemployment rates among migrant women, research on this topic has been limited. Using the SOEP dataset from 2010 to 2019 and a triple difference ...

German Economy on the Upswing - Global Economy Continues to Grow Moderately

After three years of subdued economic activity, the German economy is on the road to recovery. While the Iran war and erratic U.S. trade policy are weighing on growth, their impact is only moderate. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that U.S. tariffs are unlawful, this does not change the tariff rates imposed on German exports, as the agreement with the European Union is assumed to remain in ...

From Efficiency to Illness: Do Highly Automatable Jobs Take a Toll on Health in Germany?

Automation transforms work at a rapid pace, with gradually increasing shares of the workforce at risk of being replaced by machines. However, little is known about how this risk is affecting workers. In this study, we examine the relationship between exposure to high automation risk at work and both subjective (self-reported health, anxiety, and health satisfaction) and objective (healthcare use and ...

Mikrozensus - Die Schätzung von Armutsrisikoquoten mit Konfidenzintervallen

Beginnend mit dem Erhebungsjahr 2005 bis zum Erhebungsjahr 2023 veröffentlicht die amtliche Statistik Armutsrisikoquoten für die Gesamtbevölkerung und für ausgewählte Subpopulationen auf Basis von Mikrozensus-Daten. Im Vergleich zu anderen Datenquellen hat der Mikrozensus aufgrund der sehr großen Stichprobe Vorteile für die Armutsschätzung auf regionaler Ebene wie auch für kleinere Bevölkerungsgruppen. ...

Does having daughters affect political preferences? Using meta-analytic tools on many surveys

This study investigates whether having daughters impacts political preferences and whether this effect varies across European countries. We estimate effect sizes for 39 countries in the European Social Survey (n = 156,236) and aggregate estimates using random-effects meta-analysis, following a preregistered analysis plan. We find significant evidence that having daughters increases the preference for ...
