Is educational assortative mating passed down through generations? Evidence from Europe
Educational assortative mating can contribute to social closure and the intergenerational reproduction of inequality; a stratifying force that may intensify if mating behaviors are transmitted from parents to children. Despite its potential role in deepening social inequalities, however, the intergenerational transmission of educational assortative mating has been largely overlooked in empirical work. This study tests such transmission using micr…
Educational hypogamy is associated with a smaller child penalty on women's earnings
Out of Work, Out of Spirit? The Effects of Unemployment Duration on Young People’s Intrinsic Work Motivation
Unemployment in early career stages has been found to have lasting negative effects on future careers. The culture of worklessness theory attributes these after-effects to a decreasing intrinsic work motivation during unemployment. However, empirical evidence regarding the impact of prolonged unemployment on the intrinsic work motivation of young people is scarce. Drawing on a sample of young adults who were interviewed twice—once at the beginnin…
Educational hypogamy and gender equality within couples
This study examines the implications for gender equality of the increasing prevalence of heterosexual couples in which the woman is more highly educated than the man (‘educational hypogamy’). It provides a structured overview of competing theoretical predictions regarding the association of hypogamy with gender equality within couples and formulates specific hypotheses that address selection into hypogamous unions. Using data from the Generations…
The lasting earnings losses of Covid-19 short-time work
This study is the first to investigate the impact of short-time work (STW) schemes during the COVID-19 pandemic on earnings after STW. STW schemes were implemented to preserve employee–employer matches, support workers' incomes, and uphold consumption. Although workers faced temporary earnings losses under STW, it is unclear if the negative earnings effects of STW persisted or were limited to the STW spell. Therefore, this study uses a dynamic di…
Scarring Dreams? Young People’s Vocational Aspirations and Expectations During and After Unemployment
Young people’s early‐career unemployment experience has been found to have long‐lasting effects, resulting in lower earnings even decades later. However, while this so‐called “scarring effect” is well established, there is still little knowledge about the mechanisms through which it comes about. We take a closer look at the period that produces the wounds that later turn to scars. Drawing on a panel survey in which young adults in Austria were in…
Information, reflection, and successful job search
Jobseekers, especially young people with little experience on the job market, face several challenges. They need to know which jobs are suited for them, where to find them, how to apply, and they need resilience in the face of repeated rejections. Previous research has shown that receiving information and reflecting on how to search for a job enhance self‐efficacy and search motivation, thereby reducing the duration of unemployment spells. Follow…
Die Auswirkungen der Frühphase der Covid-19 Pandemie auf die Erwerbssituation und die finanzielle Lage von Familien in Österreich
In dieser Forschungsnotiz werden erste Ergebnisse der AKCOVID-Studie vorgestellt. Diese untersucht auf Basis von repräsentativen Befragungsdaten die Auswirkungen der Pandemie auf die finanzielle Lage von Familien in Österreich. Dabei wird die Situation von Haushalten mit Kindern vor Beginn der Corona-Krise (Februar 2020) mit der Situation im Frühsommer 2020 verglichen. Die deskriptiven Ergebnisse zeigen, dass ein großer Teil der Familien bereits …
Intergenerational educational mobility and health satisfaction across the life course
Perceived economic self-sufficiency
Existing datasets provided by statistical agencies (e.g. Eurostat) show that the economic and financial crisis that unfolded in 2008 significantly impacted the lives and livelihoods of young people across Europe. Taking these official statistics as a starting point, the collaborative research project “Cultural Pathways to Economic Self-Sufficiency and Entrepreneurship in Europe” (CUPESSE) generated new survey data on the economic and social situa…
You can't always get what you want
Using data from the European Social Survey fielded in 2010/11, this study presents new evidence on retirement preferences in Europe. It investigates retirees' preferred and actual ages of retirement , focusing on the retirement window 1995–2011. Moreover, it reports on the prevalence of mismatch in the form of involuntary retirement (retiring earlier than preferred) and involuntary work (retiring later than preferred). The study identifies substa…

Less Supervision, More Satisficing? Comparing Completely Self-Administered Web-Surveys and Interviews Under Controlled Conditions
Although online surveys are becoming more and more prominent, the quality of the resulting data is still contested. One potential caveat of web surveys is the absence of an interviewer who controls the interview situation, can motivate respondents and prevent them from satisficing, i.e. answering questions with minimal cognitive effort. While there is evidence for differences between data gathered in interviewer-administered surveys and data from…
Contextualizing the Education Effect on Women's Employment
The authors examine how and why the effect of education on women's employment varies cross-nationally. First, they present a theoretical model that (a) outlines the micro-level mechanisms underlying education effects on women's employment in the couple context and (b) proposes contextual moderators at the country level. Second, they test the theoretical model against survey data from the United Nations' Generations and Gender Programme for 5 Euro…
Trends in Work Stress and Exhaustion in Advanced Economies
Measuring the effect of institutional change on gender inequality in the labour market
Institutional reforms and age-graded labour market inequalities in Europe
This article examines how institutional change affects age-based labour market inequalities in Europe. We focus on the impact of labour regulation and of wage-setting institutions on the male population aged 25–54. Age-graded labour market inequalities within this group of prime-age individuals are hitherto under-researched. We estimate country panel regressions using data from the European Union Labour Force Survey and time-series data on instit…

Ideals or compromises? The attitude-behaviour relationship in mothers' employment
This article addresses the marked variations in women's employment that exist within and across countries, with a specific focus on mothers of children below school-going age. Using comparative survey data for 26 countries, it investigates the determinants of maternal employment behaviour with women's attitudes as important predictors, alongside cost–benefit considerations and the influence of national context factors. Results show that mothers' …
Work and Family in Conflict? The Impact of Work Demands on Family Life
This chapter examines difficulties of reconciling work and family demands in six European countries; looks at divergences in experiences among different sectors of the workforce, different family types, and household employment patterns; and gauges the extent to which such experiences are mediated by different institutional structures. It considers the extent to which successful conciliation between paid work and family life may be facilitated by…
Household employment patterns in an enlarged European Union
Our aim is to contribute to better understanding of why different practices relating to the division of paid labour by sex in couple households are still to be found in different parts of Europe. We analyse data on the distribution of dominant household employment patterns in eight countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, the Netherlands, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Using comparative survey evidence for a large tot…
