Child penalties in labour market outcomes are well-documented: after childbirth, mothers’ employment and earnings drop persistently compared to fathers. Beyond gender norms, a potential driver could be the loss in labour market skills due to mothers’ longer employment interruptions. This paper estimates child penalties in adult cognitive skills by adapting the pseudo-panel approach to a single cross-section ...

How much does society value redistribution? The common method to derive inverse-optimum welfare weights is by inverting an optimal-tax model. Our alternative imposes fewer restrictions on labor supply and enables comparisons across household types. We use a structural labor supply model to calculate the marginal value of public funds for various small tax reductions, directly linked to welfare weights. ...

Whether or not immigrants are well integrated into the labor market in Germany has been the focus of an ongoing public discussion. While there has been a lot of research on the career paths of first-generation immigrants, official statistics do not offer a lot of insight when it comes to the one of the offspring of the first generation. This paper seeks to address this issue for the second generation ...

The aim of this paper is to focus on single mothers’ health and to highlight heterogeneity among single mothers. Both, interindividual and intraindividual variability of single mothers will be considered in this study. We will analyze therefore empirically determinants affecting ...

Abstract This paper analyzes whether Christian moralities and rules formed differently by Catholics and Protestants impact the likelihood of households becoming over-indebted. We find that over-indebtedness is lower in regions in which Catholics outweigh Protestants, indicating that Catholics' forgiveness culture and stricter enforcement of rules by Protestants serve as explanations for our results. ...

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 ...

These fast-track programs are designed to accommodate high-performing students who want a faster learning pace than the average student. In general, both educational performance and choice depend on class origin, ethnicity, and gender, according to research. Therefore, in studying the probability ...

Over the last several decades, a large number of developed countries has not only witnessed a downturn in civic engagement, but has also seen the breakdown of traditional family structures. Despite these coinciding trends, Putnam argues in Bowling alone (2000) that none of the major observed declines in civic engagement can be accounted for by the decline in the traditional family. In this paper, we ...
