Arme immer ärmer: Studie belegt wachsende Ungleichheit in BRD. Umverteilung durch höheren Mindestlohn und Tarifbindung

Sources of growing labour market inequalities among low-skilled men in Western Germany

We use the German Socio-Economic Panel 1984-2008 to identify the sources of this apparent „polarization“ among unskilled men. We start by confirming that earnings inequality among low-skilled men has grown substantially (measured as earnings over a given three-year period in order to minimize effects of short-term fluctuations). Drawing on economic and sociological theories, we then discuss potential ...

An economical measure of attitudes towards artificial intelligence in work, healthcare, and education (ATTARI-WHE)

Artificial intelligence (AI) has profoundly transformed numerous facets of both private and professional life. Understanding how people evaluate AI is crucial for predicting its future adoption and addressing potential barriers.

Changes in emotional problems, hyperactivity and conduct problems in moderate to late preterm children and adolescents born between 1958 and 2002 in the United Kingdom

Background: Preterm birth is a risk factor for the development of emotional and behavioural problems in childhood and adolescence. Given the substantial improvements in neonatal care across decades, it has been expected that the difference in emotional problems, hyperactivity, and conduct problems between moderate to late preterm (MLPT) and full term (FT) children and adolescents have declined in recent ...

Problems in peer relationships and low engagement in romantic relationships in preterm born adolescents: effects of maternal warmth in early childhood

This study examined whether maternal warmth in early childhood moderates the association between preterm birth and problems in peer relationships and low engagement in romantic relationships in adolescence. We studied 9193 individuals from the Millennium Cohort Study in the United Kingdom, 99 (1.1%) of whom were born very preterm (VPT; < 32 weeks of gestation) and 629 (6.8%) moderate-to-late preterm ...

Entrepreneurial worries: Self-employment and potential loss of well-being

The relationship between self-employment and life satisfaction has been shown to be heterogeneous in the literature. This paper analyzes a channel through which lower well-being can come about for the self-employed, namely, their worries about their business (“entrepreneurial worries”). Using a two-way fixed effects estimator on German panel data (1984–2020), I find no overall effect of becoming self-employed ...

Die vorliegende Analyse basiert auf der Anreiz-Beitrags-Theorie und untersucht das Zusammenspiel ...

Unterschiedliche Lebenserwartung, differenzierter Rentenzugang?: Soll die gesetzliche Rente unterschiedliche soziodemografische Hintergründe berücksichtigen? (IW-Trends: Forum)

Während das gesetzliche Rentenrecht eine für alle Versicherten einheitliche Regelaltersgrenze vorsieht, deuten empirische Befunde auf eine ungleiche Verteilung der Lebenserwartung hin. Je nach Einkommenshöhe, beruflicher Stellung, berufsbedingten gesundheitlichen Belastungen oder dem Geschlecht leben die Bürger unterschiedlich lang. Zu vermuten ist, dass deshalb auch die Rentenbezugsdauer der gesetzlich ...
