Socio-economic change and intergenerational class mobility: A dynamic analysis of the experiences of West Germans born between 1929 and 1971
Augmenting the conceptual and methodological approaches that are common in current mobility research, we are proposing a dynamic approach to the analysis of intergenerational mobility . A multilevel model is developed that embeds differences and changes in individual resources, such as respondents’ class origin, educational attainment, and labor force experience, in the time-varying macro context of a changing cohort size, socio-economic moderniz…
Event History Analysis
Event history analysis is closely related to a new understanding of causation as a “generative process.” Event history models allow the researcher (1) to relate the rate of change in future outcomes to changes in conditions in the past; (2) to use the transition rate as a local, time‐related description of how the dependent process in a causal system evolves in time; and (3) to use time‐dependent covariates in order to study the impact of paralle…
Advantage 'Finds Its Way: How Privileged Families Exploit Opportunities in Different Systems of Secondary Education
This article discusses key findings from eduLIFE, a cross-national project that examined the emergence of social inequalities in 17 countries characterized by different models of secondary education. First, we build upon existing international studies and propose a broader classification of forms of differentiation in secondary education. Second, we elaborate a fourfold typology of secondary education systems. Third, we provide a longitudinal and…

Evidence of Causation—The Contribution of Life Course Research, Part II: Causation as Generative Process
This is the second part in a pair of essays on causal inference in life course research. The first part presented the dominant models of causal inference and their limitations in life course research. This essay develops the idea of “causation as generative process,” offering a quite promising model for inferences in life course research.
Evidence of Causation—The Contribution of Life Course Research, Part I: Dominant Models of Causal Inference and Their Limitations in Life Course Research
Life course research has been increasingly criticized for relying only on observational data where processes by which subjects select themselves (or are selected) into the states of a causal variable are not under the control of the researcher. The primary objectives of this essay, the first in a two‐part set , are to discuss two dominant models of causal inference and to identify the uses and limitations of randomized control trials (RCTs) and q…
From parents to children: The impact of mothers’ and fathers’ educational attainments on those of their sons and daughters in West Germany
Empirical studies have repeatedly shown that in Germany educational success still strongly depends on the social origin of individuals. Using the National Educational Panel Study, we analyse the effects of fathers’ and mothers’ education levels on their sons’ and daughters’ educational attainments across three successive birth cohorts in West Germany. We calculate the predicted probabilities of reaching low, medium or high education levels on the…
Gender and job-related non-formal training: A comparison of 20 countries
This article analyses gender differences in the participation in various types of job-related non-formal training in 20 societies and examines the relationship of these gender differences with country-specific institutional settings such as employment protection, family policies and the gender culture. Using data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) and applying two-step multilevel regression analyses,…
Horizontal and Vertical Gender Segregation in Russia-Changes upon Labour Market Entry before and after the Collapse of the Soviet Regime
Using retrospective data from the Russian Education and Employment Survey, we examine labour market entry in Russia in terms of changes in horizontal gender segregation and vertical gender inequalities before and after the collapse of the Soviet regime in 1991. Our results provide evidence for horizontal gender segregation across branches of the economy among labour market entrants in Russia, which have been growing since 1991. Moreover, horizont…
The Second Demographic Transition Meets Globalization: A Comprehensive Theory to Understand Changes in Family Formation in an Era of Rising Uncertainty
Do Women Pick Up Lies before Men?The Association between Gender, Deception Patterns, and Detection Modes in Online Dating
Due to its particular conditions, the Internet increases opportunities for lies and deception compared to offline interactions. In online dating, misrepresentation of the self is an issue of particular relevance. Previous studies have shown that searching for a mate online is accompanied by a high risk of being deceived. This paper focuses on the rarely-considered perspective of the receivers of deception. Our study will first investigate decepti…
The Two Dimensions of Housing Inequality in Europe Are High Home Ownership Rates an Indicator of Low Housing Values
Exploring inequalities in home ownership as an important component of household wealth contributes to the understanding of social stratification in modern societies. We argue that inequalities in housing are not only manifested by differential access to home ownership, but also by differences in housing values, a somewhat neglected aspect in research hitherto. Applying data from the “Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe” (SHARE), we …

Neue Herausforderungen für die Kindertagesstätten: Professionalisierung des Personals in der Frühpädagogik
Most experts would agree that early education is an important foundation for later school achievements and employment prospects over the life course. One way of achieving this goal is to provide high quality education in the early years which gives young children access to diverse learning opportunities. The practitioners in early childhood institutions play a key role in this process. This paper summarizes the most important recommendations of a…

What determines change in the division of housework over the course of marriage
This article analyses the changing division of housework between husbands and wives in western Germany. Using representative longitudinal data from the Bamberg Panel Study of Married Couples, the authors analyse how the division of household labour changes over the first 14 years of marriage. In particular, they assess when and under what conditions the husband's share of traditionally 'female' housework increases or decreases. They consider shif…

Beschäftigungsflexibilisierung in Deutschland – Wen betrifft sie und wie hat sie sich auf die Veränderung sozialer Inklusion/Exklusion in Deutschland ausgewirkt?
Eine dauerhafte und stabile Beschäftigung ist im so genannten konservativen deutschen Wohlfahrtsstaatsmodell für Individuen eine wichtige Quelle der sozialen Absicherung, der sozialen Teilhabe und der sozialen Anerkennung. Der „Arbeitsplatzbesitz“ ermöglicht dem Einzelnen nicht nur durch das aktuelle Einkommen den Zugang zu Gütern und Dienstleistungen, sondern beeinflusst im beitragsorientierten deutschen System der Sozialversicherung auch das Ni…

Human Capital Investments or Norms of Role Transition? How Women's Schooling and Career Affect the Process of Family Formation
Proponents of the "new home economics" hypothesize that women's growing economic independence largely accounts for the rise in delayed marriage and motherhood in industrialized societies. This article assesses this hypothesis for the Federal Republic of Gernamy by estimating the dynamic effects of women's educational and career investments on the timing of family events. Eventhistory analysis shows that the delaying effect on the timing of the fi…

Collectivist versus Individualist Mobility Regimes? Structural Change and Job Mobility in Four Countries
Job mobility is produced by structural forces of expansion and contraction as well as by individual choices. But labor market structure and welfare state policies will create distinctive national patterns of labor force adjustment to shifts in technology, markets, and the consequent demand for particular forms of labor. In a four‐nation comparative study, U.S. rates of job mobility showed the greatest sensitivity to structural change and to the l…

Sex and Sector Differences in the Dynamics of Wage Growth in the Federal Republic of Germany
Research on wage differentials for men and women and for labor market sectors has relied largely on cross-sectional analysis. Using data on three cohorts of West German men and women, we bring a dynamic perspective to these issues by analyzing wage changes for three aspects of work histories: (1) wage rate at time offirst entry into the labor market, (2) wage changes when workers change jobs, and (3) wage growth within jobs. Education affects fir…
Changes in Educational Careers in the Federal Republic of Germany
The main thesis of this article is that the educational system of the Federal Republic of Germany has led to and less vulnerable phases in the educational careers of various birth cohorts, who are affected differently by the same historical developments. These phases include the brief transition to secondary schools within the general educational system, from the general educational system to the vocational training system, or within different ty…

Increasing Resource Inequality among Families in Modern Societies: The Mechanisms of Growing Educational Homogamy, Changes in the Division of Work in the Family and the Decline of the Male Breadwinner…
Many social inequality studies in modern societies take an individualistic approach. They analyse men and women as individuals and neglect marriage patterns and familial relationships. This often implies that men and women are all alike, that there are no important differences within households, and that employment chances and risks within the family are based on gender-free considerations. This article draws on the empirical results of several i…
Converging Divergences: An International Comparison of the Impact of Globalization on Industrial Relations and Employment Careers
Profound social and economic transformations have taken place over the last two decades in modern societies. These changes are often referred to as globalization. The aim of this article is to examine whether processes of globalization have produced increasing convergence of employment-related aspects of national-level welfare regimes, industrial relation systems and mid-career employment paths among a set of industrialized nations. A theory of c…

GlobalIndex: A Sociological Approach to Globalization Measurement
This article suggests a multidimensional globalization measure, encompassing economic, (socio)technological, cultural and political dimensions of global change.

Spouses’ Employment Careers in (West) Germany
IN this chapter, we present a dynamic study on how spouses in (West) Germany1 affect each other over the life course. Our approach is based on a symmetric perspective, trying to examine the interdependencies of husbands’ and wives’ transitions between full-time or part-time paid work and unpaid household work, beginning at the time of entry into marriage. What follows can therefore not be generalized for all women, all men, or women and men in no…
Globalisation, social inequality and the role of country- specific institutions
It is almost universally accepted that we are moving increasingly towards an information society, where knowledge and learning are the new currency of power. This book seeks to challenge this axiom by looking in more detail at the subtle relationships between knowledge and social development. The editors are at pains to differentiate the process of knowledge creation from the simple accumulation of knowledge. The original contributions within thi…

Home Ownership and Social Inequality in Comparative Perspective
Although a strong indicator of social status, home ownership has rarely emerged as a topic in social inequality research.

Examining countries that are similar with respect to s…
