Awareness and Performance of Testicular Self-Examinations
Uncovering Social Stratification
Enduring and accumulated advantages and disadvantages in work and family lives remain invisible in studies focusing on single outcomes. Further, single outcome studies tend to conflate labor market inequalities related to gender, race, and family situation. We combine an intersectional and quantitative life course perspective to analyze parallel work and family lives for Black and White men and women aged 22–44. Results using sequence analysis an…
Social Sequence Analysis
The Interplay of Work and Family Trajectories over the Life Course
This article uses sequence analysis to examine how gender inequality in work-family trajectories unfolds from early adulthood until middle age in two different welfare state contexts. Results based on the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and the German National Education Panel Study demonstrate that in Germany, all work-family trajectories are highly gender-specific irrespective of social class. In contrast, patterns of work-family interplay…
Economic instability and mothers’ employment
Do economic fluctuations change the labour market attachment of mothers? How is the reentry process into the labour market after childbirth dependent on the country context women live in? Are these processes affected by occupational status? We address these questions using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth and the German Life History Study. Event history analyses demonstrate that in Germany and the United States, mothers who work…
Work interruptions and young women's career prospects in Germany, Sweden and the US
This article assesses the impact of discontinuous work histories on young women's occupational mobility in Germany, Sweden and the US. Women with continuous work histories are compared with those with gaps due to family leave, unemployment, or other reasons. The German Life History Study, the Swedish Level of Living Survey and the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth are used to estimate Cox regression models of the transition rate to downwar…

Women's Retirement Income in Germany and Britain
This article analyses women’s retirement income in the context of two distinct welfare states. In addition to women’s employment history, we consider their marital history over the life course as an important determinant of retirement income. We use longitudinal data for women born between 1930 and 1940 from the German Socio-Economic Panel and the British Household Panel Study. The results shed light on the mechanisms through which welfare states…
Familienpolitik, Bildung und Berufskarrieren von Müttern in Deutschland, USA und Schweden
Dieser Beitrag widmet sich der beruflichen Entwicklung von Müttern mit ungleichen Bildungsressourcen in international vergleichender Perspektive. Wir untersuchen die Strategien zur Vereinbarkeit von Berufskarrieren und Elternschaft in Deutschland, USA und Schweden für Frauen mit unterschiedlichem Schulbildungsniveau. Die Analysen beruhen auf länderspezifischen Längsschnittdaten (GLHS-West, NLSY, LNU). Mit Hilfe ereignisanalytischer Verfahren unte…
New Life for Old Ideas
In this article the authors draw attention to the most recent and promising developments of sequence analysis. Taking methodological developments in life course sociology as the starting point, the authors detail the complementary strength in sequence analysis in this field. They argue that recent advantages of sequence analysis were developed in response to criticism of the original work, particularly optimal matching analysis. This debate arose…
Economic Penalties and Rewards of Family Formation, Gender and Education in the Low-income Sector in Germany1
This article examines the differential effects of changes in family formations on men's and women's economic vulnerability. The motivating question is whether investments in education provide sufficient resources to escape the risk of poverty in the low-income sector or if changes in household characteristics are more important determinants of one's living standard. Changes in household characteristics are defined in terms of partners' entry into…
Is There a Career Penalty for Mothers' Time Out? A Comparison of Germany, Sweden and the United States
This article focuses on three countries with distinct policies toward motherhood and work: Germany, Sweden and the United States. We analyze the length of mothers' time out of paid work after childbirth and the short-term career consequences for mothers. In the United States, we identify a career punishment even for short timeout periods; long time-out periods increase the risk of a downward move and reduce the chances of an upward move. In Germa…

Occupational Aspirations and the Gender Gap in Wages
Focusing on the role of occupational segregation in maintaining gender stratification, this article analyses occupational aspirations and attainment among West Germans born between 1919 and 1971. Male and female life course patterns have strongly converged among younger cohorts, but men and women are still extremely segregated in the labour market, and earn unequal wages. Women are less likely than men to realize their occupational aspirations an…
Soziologische Bildungsforschung
Im ersten Jahrhundert unserer Zeitrechnung formuliert Seneca den Satz: Non vitae, sed scholae discimus und richtet sich damit kritisch gegen die Schule. In jüngerer Zeit wurde dieser Satz zur heutigen Moralsentenz umgestellt: Non scholae, sed vitae discimus. Was meint dieser Satz, der viele von uns begleitet hat, noch immer Schulportale schmückt und noch immer weite Felder der Bildungssoziologie umreißt? Zunächst: Was meint „Schule“? Haben die et…
