Growing or declining penalties? A cross-temporal analysis of unemployment scars in the German labor market

We know that unemployment leaves scars. Unemployment scars are the penalties in terms of employment outcomes that workers experience due to past unemployment. To date we lack a long-term longitudinal account which examines how unemployment scarring has developed over time. The aim of this article is to fill this gap. We draw on longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel spanning a period ...

How Often Have You Felt Disadvantaged? Explaining Perceived Discrimination

Im Rahmen einer Längsschnittanalyse des sozio-oekonomischen Panels gehen wir der Frage nach, wie sich Diskriminierungswahrnehmungen von Einwanderern und ihren Nachkommen im Laufe des Integrationsprozesses verändern. Insgesamt betrachtet fühlen sich Migrantinnen und Migranten, deren Integration weiter fortgeschritten ist, seltener aufgrund ihrer Herkunft benachteiligt. Allerdings zeigen gruppenspezifische ...

Studie zu Einkommensverlusten: Corona nimmt's, der Staat gibt's

Die Pandemie verschärft die Ungleichheit – diese These ist ebenso falsch wie richtig, zeigt eine neue Studie: Ärmere verlieren im Schnitt deutlich mehr Einkommen als Reichere. Doch der Sozialstaat kehrt diesen Effekt um.

Selective re-partnering? Mental health and life satisfaction among separated single mothers in Germany and the UK

This study examines the potential influence of selection on the association between re-partnering and single mothers’ mental health and life satisfaction in Germany and the United Kingdom. Drawing on extensive longitudinal panel data, we analyze the trajectories of 1694 separated single mothers in Germany (SOEP) and 1070 in the UK (BHPS/UKHLS). Employing fixed effects models, we examine the outcomes ...

Hunkering Down or Catching Up? No Long-Term Effect of Ethnic Minority Share on Neighborhood Contacts

This study reexamines the relationship between the coexistence of distinct ethno-cultural groups and social connectedness. Although previous research suggests a negative association between neighborhood-level ethnic diversity or ethnic minority shares and individual integration, alternative theoretical perspectives propose that integration can occur equally well in neighborhoods with distinct ethnic ...

Digital Family Access and Depressive Tendency in Rural Children: Digital Usages as A Mediator

Given the the digital era, mental health of rural children is of particular concern. Taking a total of 314 rural children in Linquan County, Fuyang City, Anhui Province, as survey respondents, and using a combination of descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis, this study aimed to explore the effects of digital family access on rural children's depressive tendency, and to analyse ...

Parent-child mismatches in educational aspirations: Prevalence, stability, and convergence over time

Parent-child mismatches in educational aspirations may negatively affect child development. We examine 1) the prevalence of mismatching aspirations across school grades 3–9 (ages 8–15), 2) their stability over time, and 3) whether mismatching aspirations converge to parents’ or to children’s aspirations. This study uses data from two German National Educational Panel Study cohorts (“kindergarten”: ...

Sporting Activity, Employment Status and Wage

We propose a structural model of participation to sporty activities and labour supply. We jointly model employment, wage and sporting activity using a dynamic model. We estimate for the period going from 1994 to 1999 a dynamic multivariate model with random effects using the German Socioeconomic panel (GSOEP). The error terms of the equations of the model can be correlated. Each of these error terms ...

The effect of co-ethnic social capital on immigrants' labor market integration: a natural experiment

Empirically identifying the causal effect of social capital on immigrants’ economic prospects is a challenging task due to the non-random residential sorting of immigrants into locations with greater opportunities for prior or co-ethnic connections. Our study addresses this selection-bias issue by using a natural-experimental dataset of refugees and other immigrants who were exogenously allocated to ...
