Do men and women define health differently? A cross-national study of gender differences in self-rated health
Introduction: Self-rated health (SRH) is a common measure for examining gender differences in health. However, it is unclear if men and women assess similar health factors in their ratings, particularly outside the US. This study expands on previous research in Germany, Italy, and Sweden-countries with varying gender norms. Methods: We analyze how chronic conditions, mental health, physical functioning, and health behaviors affect SRH ratings amo…
Probabilistic population forecasts for small regions
BACKGROUND: Age-specific population forecasts for small areas or subnational regions are a valuable tool for local governments. However, typical population projection methods based on the cohort-component approach are difficult to apply on a smaller subnational scale. OBJECTIVE: We introduce Bayesian methods suitable for obtaining reliable age-specific population forecasts for small regions using the cohort-component method. METHODS: Our approach…
On the Relationship between Telework and Health in Germany
Teleworking has become a popular work arrangement in many developed countries. Although there are heated public debates over the benefits of teleworking, empirical evidence on the causal relationship between teleworking and health is still rare. Using panel data from the German BAuA Working Time Survey (2015, 2017, and 2019), the authors investigated the effects of teleworking on health and well-being. The authors applied an innovative research d…
A Precarious Path to Partnership? The Moderating Effects of Labour Market Regulations on the Relationship Between Unstable Employment and Union Formation in Europe
Rising employment uncertainty featured by higher risks of being temporarily employed or unemployed is often seen as the driving force behind delayed and declined partnering in Western countries. However, such an employment–partnering relationship is contextualized by labour market institutions and thus could diverge across countries over time. This paper aims to investigate how country-level variations in labour market regulations moderate indivi…
Education and age trajectories of chronic conditions
Underreporting affected conclusions about the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes, but it did not affect conclusions about the CAD hypothesis for either condition
Family inequality
Objective: A comprehensive and thorough investigation of the key trends in family patterns in Western Germany. Methods: Descriptive analyses of educational differences in marital status, cohabitation, partnerlessness, and children in the household in Western Germany from 1976 to 2019. We analyze unique data from the German Microcensus with information from more than 1.7 million individuals. Results: In the 1970s, men with higher education were mo…
The value conflict between freedom and security
In the name of health security, individual freedoms were constrained in an unprecedented way in many countries, democratic or authoritarian, all over the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet the constraints have not been consistent across countries, which motivates this paper to examine the relevance of value preferences towards freedom or security in the society for COVID-19 policies. Based on data for 40 democratic and authoritarian countrie…
Women’s Agency in Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia
Women in Middle Eastern and North African countries continue to report low levels of agency, despite their increasing educational attainment and declining fertility rates. We address this paradox by considering how women’s agency is linked to parenthood in Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia and how this association is moderated by their level of education. We study three dimensions of instrumental agency: involvement in decision-making, financial autonom…
On the Relationship between Fertility, Development and Gender Equality
The changing macro-level relationship between fertility and development (i.e., the standard of living, health and education) from negative to positive for the most advanced economies has received considerable attention recently. Using aggregate data, we compare the relationship between fertility and development in Western countries with the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, where fertility rates are higher than in other regions with ide…
Intra-Couple (Dis)Similarity in Gender Role Attitudes and the Transition to Parenthood in Germany
This paper tests whether couples in which partners hold dissimilar gender role attitudes are less likely to have a first child together compared to couples in which both partners share similar attitudes. The study contributes to micro-level research on gender role attitudes and fertility, which has examined the content of one partner's attitudes, but not the fit of both partners' views. We analyse unique panel data from the German Family Panel (p…
Family, Firms, and Fertility
Research has indicated that fertility spreads through social networks and attributed this phenomenon to social interaction effects. It remains unclear, however, whether the findings of previous studies reflect the direct influence of network partners or contextual and selection factors, such as shared environment and common background characteristics. The present study uses instrumental variables to improve the identification of social interactio…
Einkommensungleichheit in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
"Der Artikel befaßt sich mit einer empirischen Untersuchung der Einkommensunterschiede zwischen Männern und Frauen sowie zwischen Deutschen und Ausländern in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Anhand der Daten des Mikrozensus 1985 werden humankapitaltheoretisch fundierte Einkommensfunktionen geschätzt. Der Stichprobenauswahlfehler wird durch die Heckman-Korrektur berücksichtigt. Insbesondere wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit die beobachteten ge…
On the age-specific correlation between fertility and female employment
Though there has been profound research on the curious change in correlation between total fertility rate (TFR) and female labor force participation (FLP) in the mid-1980s, aspects of the compositional character of age-specific effects and the nature of co
The Transition to Parent Care
This research traced the process of caregiver selection among adult children longitudinally, investigating how transitions to parent care were influenced by previous constellations of caregiving costs and commitments within sibling groups. The authors used data from 6 waves (1998-2008) of the Health and Retirement Study, selecting a sample of families (N = 641 parents comprising N = 2,452 parent-child dyads) in which they observed at least 1 adul…
Effects of Generational Competition and Substitution on Late Labour Participation and Labour Market Exit from a Multilevel Perspective
In this paper, we investigate the effects of demographic, economic and labour market structures on labour market participation and on the transition to inactivity (exit) for older males in eleven European countries. Theoretically, our analysis is guided by considerations of intragenerational competition and intergenerational substitution. Following Easterlin's hypothesis that intragenerational competition rises with cohort size, we assume a negat…
Altert die Belegschaft mit dem Betrieb? / Ageing Staff in Ageing Companies
Auf Basis der „Linked Employer-Employee“(LIAB)-Daten des Instituts für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung analysieren wir den Anteil älterer Mitarbeiter (50+) in deutschen Betrieben über einen Zeitraum von insgesamt 13 Jahren (1996-2008). Ausgehend von einem organisationsdemografischen Ansatz werden die Anteilswerte durch die Prozesse der natürlichen Alterung und der Personalfluktuation sowie durch weitere betriebliche Merkmale erklärt. Die Schätz…
Late Careers in Europe
In this article, I estimated the effects of individual and institutional factors on labor-force participation and transition to inactivity for older males in eleven European countries, using the first two waves of SHARE. The application of multilevel methods allowed to estimate the share of variance in international late careers that can be attributed to country-specific factors and to quantify the relative impact of specific institutional backgr…

The Association between Age and Depressive Symptoms among Older Men and Women in Europe. Findings from SHARE
Empirical evidence of the effects of age on depressive symptoms is mixed, ranging from positive to zero to negative effects, depending on the modelling of the age-depression profile. This paper uses internationally comparative data to analyse the association between age and the prevalence of symptoms of depression, controlling for well-known determinants of mental health. Based on the first wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in E…
Social involvement, behavioural risks and cognitive functioning among older people
This study analyses the relationships between cognitive performance, social participation and behavioural risks, taking into account age and educational attainment. We examine individual data for 11 European countries and Israel from the first wave of the Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). The stochastic frontier approach methodology enables us to identify different sources of plasticity on cognitive functioning while taki…
On the Relation Between Fertility, Natality, and Nuptiality
Recent studies of fertility in Europe indicate a changing cross-country correlation between total fertility and fertility-related behaviour. Fertility now tends to be lowest in countries that are traditional, catholic, and family-oriented, while it is highest in countries with high divorce rates, high rates of cohabitation, and high levels of extra-marital births. In this article we provide support to the argument that the change in the cross-cou…
The influence of offspring's sex and age at parents' divorce on the intergenerational transmission of divorce, Norwegian first marriages 1980-2003
Whether a couple remain married or divorce has repeatedly been shown to be of importance for the marital stability of their children. This paper addresses the related question of whether the intergenerational transmission of divorce is contingent on the age at which parents divorced and the sex of the spouse who experienced the parents' divorce. Using a population-wide data-set on Norwegian first marriages followed from 1980 to 2003, we find that…

The Social Inheritence of Divorce
The social inheritance of divorce is one factor contributing to the upward trend in marriage dissolution rates during the last few decades. Several studies confirm the transmission hypothesis for U.S. marriages. We investigate the intergenerational transmission of divorce risk among German first marriages using multivariate event-history techniques. Our data are from the 7,200 respondents of the German Family Survey. The historical circumstances …
Fertility and women's employment reconsidered
This paper examines causality and parameter instability in the long-run relationship between fertility and women's employment. This is done by a cross-national comparison of macro-level time-series data from 1960 to 2000 for France, West Germany, Italy, Sweden, the UK, and the USA. By applying vector error correction models (a combination of Granger-causality tests with recent econometric time-series techniques) we find causality in both directio…

On the tempo and quantum of first marriages in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland
Period marriage rates have been falling dramatically in most industrial societies since the beginning of the 1970s. As has been shown in the literature, part of this decline is due to the postponement of marriage to later ages. However, the change in v

Estimating Causal Effects With Matching Methods in the Presence and Absence of Bias Cancellation
This article explores the implications of bias cancellation on the estimate of average treatment effects using ordinary least squares (OLS) and Rubin-style matching methods. Bias cancellation (offsetting biases at high and low propensities for treatment in estimates of treatment effects that are uncorrected for nonrandom selection) has been observed when job training is the treatment variable and earnings is the outcome variable. Contrary to publ…

Die soziale Vererbung des Scheidungsrisikos
In an empirical analysis the article investigates the intergenerational transmission of divorce risk with multivariate event-history techniques using data on the 10,000 respondents of the German Family Survey. In both younger and older cohorts the transmission effect is confirmed. Surprisingly, however, there are huge sex differences in the impact of parents' divorces on their children. Sons of divorced parents have a much higher risk of divorce …

Biological Nihilism and Modern Moral and Political Theory
As Arnhart acknowledges, the major intellectual challenge of the 20th century is to justify moral judgments rationally and to provide moral authority for political action when individuals meet as moral strangers who do not share common moral assumptions. This is the task of a secular morality that aspires to transcend particular religious or ideological commitments. The arguments for nihilism suggest that such a task cannot be successfully comple…
