Gendered responses to unfair pay
Is My Wage Fair? Validating Fairness Perceptions among Women and Men
The authors examine gender differences in perceptions of the fairness of one's own pay. This work differs from previous studies, as the authors not only assess whether women are as likely as men to perceive their pay as unfair at the same absolute wage levels. Instead, they use an innovative methodology based on linked employer-employee data. This makes it possible to compare subjective perceptions of (un)fair pay with the predicted pay of compar…
Who perceives lower wages for women to be fair? How perceptions of the fairness of men's and women's wages vary by firm and workplace characteristics
Previous research has shown that gender pay gaps are perceived as fair or justified, not only by men but also by women. In this paper we contribute to the discussion of a biased evaluation of fair wages and assess whether the organizational context has an impact on fairness perceptions. We use unique data from a vignette study that was part of a representative online survey of 5,556 employees in 532 larger firms (> 100 employees) in Germany which…
Effekte von Teilqualifizierungen auf Beschäftigung und Einkommen
Teilqualifizierungen (auch: Teilqualifikationen) sind ein relativ neues Instrument im Instrumentenkasten der aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik in Deutschland. Sie bieten in ausgewählten Berufsfeldern die Möglichkeit, einzelne Bausteine beruflicher Qualifikation zu erwerben. Damit sollen sie die Arbeitsmarktchancen von formal gering Qualifizierten, d. h. von Personen ohne eine abgeschlossene Berufsausbildung, verbessern und es Teilnehmenden ermöglichen,…
Employment effects of language training for unemployed immigrants
Proficiency in the host country’s language is an important factor for the successful labor market integration of immigrants. In this study, I analyze the effects of a language training program for professional purposes on the employment opportunities of participants in Germany. I apply an instrumental variable approach and exploit differences in lagged local training intensities. Bivariate probit estimates show that 2 years after the program star…
Finanzielle Anreize für Umschulungen
Weiterbildung und Qualifizierung sind wichtige Bestandteile der deutschen Arbeitsmarktpolitik und vor dem Hintergrund des demografischen Wandels und möglicher Fachkräfteengpässe von großer Bedeutung. Geringqualifizierte Arbeitslose für eine berufsqualifizierende Umschulung zu gewinnen ist in der Praxis allerdings oft eine Herausforderung. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich daher mit einem Modellprojekt in Thüringen, in dessen Rahmen geringq…
