Aktivierung statt Frühverrentung? Die Neujustierung der Steuerungslogik gegenüber älteren Leistungsbeziehenden im Zuge der Bürgergeld-Reform
Mit dem Bürgergeld-Gesetz, das Anfang 2023 in Kraft trat, wurden auch zwei arbeitsmarktpolitisch zentrale Änderungen für ältere Leistungsbeziehende der Grundsicherung für Arbeitsuchende beschlossen. Zum einen wurde die Pflicht zur vorzeitigen Inanspruchnahme einer Altersrente (§ 12a SGB II) bis Ende 2026 ausgesetzt, wodurch der Verbleib im Leistungsbezug über das 63. Lebensjahr hinaus erleichtert wird. Zum anderen wurde die Sonderregelung des § 5…
Loans for welfare benefit recipients: Evidence from the Sample of Integrated Welfare Benefit Biographies ( SIG ) 2007–2020
The Sample of Integrated Welfare Benefit Biographies (SIG) provides comprehensive administrative data on the labour market participation, household composition and financial situation of welfare benefit recipients and their household members in Germany between 2007 and 2020. The SIG data enables research on the dynamics of welfare receipt and labour market participation of welfare recipients. The aim of the article is to introduce the SIG and to …
Unemployed and then? The role of non‐standard employment in labour market trajectories after unemployment
Non‐standard employment (NSE) might offer employment opportunities for unemployed workers, who would not find a job otherwise and can improve their human capital while working in NSE instead of being unemployed. NSE thus could serve as a bridge to regular, permanent employment. However, these stepping stone effects might not occur in a segmented labour market, when the accumulated human capital is not useful for regular jobs or NSE is not a posit…
Gender Role Attitudes and Labour Market Behaviours: Do Attitudes Contribute to Gender Differences in Employment in Germany
This article contributes to the literature on persistent gender inequalities in the labour market by investigating gender role attitudes in Germany and their association with labour market behaviour. Based on the German Panel Study 'Labour Market and Social Security' (PASS), longitudinal analyses are applied to examine the influence of gender role attitudes and the household context on various employment states. The results reveal that gender rol…
The Relevance of Job-Related Concessions for Unemployment Duration Among Recipients of Means-Tested Benefits in Germany
Unemployment strongly influences a person's economic resources and life chances. Especially for unemployed individuals who have to rely on means-tested benefits, episodes of unemployment often go along with substantial material restrictions. Therefore, from a policy perspective, measures or regulations that might shorten unemployment episodes and reduce overall unemployment are particularly important.In this paper, we analyse whether concessions …
Women's employment transitions: The influence of her, his, and joint gender ideologies
Research suggests that womenâ s employment decisions are influenced by not only their own gender ideologies but also their partnersâ . This paper is the first study examining the role of a coupleâ s joint gender ideology on the female partnerâ s employment tra
Persistence of Welfare Receipt and Unemployment in Germany: Determinants and Duration Dependence
Although the German economy managed the last economic recession comparatively well, it suffers from high and stagnating long-term unemployment and benefit receipt. This article is the first to study the duration and determinants of welfare benefit ('unemployment benefit II') receipt in Germany as a whole, with special attention on duration dependence. The recipients of the means-tested household benefit are not necessarily registered as unemploye…
Welfare Dynamics and Employment: Heterogeneous Paths Through Means-tested Basic Income in Germany
This study contributes to the international literature on welfare dynamics, by providing a differentiated picture of paths through the means-tested Basic Income for recipients who are capable of working, after the reorganisation of the basic income system in Germany in 2005. We analyse the employment and benefit trajectories of individuals who became recipients for the first time between 2007 and 2009 by methods of sequence and cluster analysis b…
The Contribution of Mothers' Employment on Their Family's Chances of Ending Welfare Benefit Receipt in Germany. Analysis of a Two-Stage Process
The following article investigates to what extent individual employment of mothers contributes to ending receipt of welfare benefits in Germany. It disentangles the process of an employment-related exit into two stages: first, the process of taking up employment and second, the probability of ending benefit receipt with this new employment. This analysis focuses on mothers because they face particular restrictions on their labour market behaviour…
Je länger, je weniger? Zum Zusammenhang zwischen der Dauer des ALG-II-Leistungsbezugs und den materiellen Lebensbedingungen der Betroffenen
Bei der Betrachtung von Situationen mit eingeschränktem Lebensstandard aus einer zeitlichen Perspektive liegt der Fokus der Forschung zumeist auf dem Eintritt in bzw. dem Austritt aus derartigen Lebenslagen. Dies sind insbesondere Zeiten der Einkommensarmut oder des Bezugs bedarfsgeprüfter Sozialleistungen. Weniger gut untersucht ist hingegen der Zusammenhang zwischen der Verweildauer im Leistungsbezug und den materiellen Lebenzumständen der Betr…
After Recent Policy Reforms in Germany: Probability and Determinants of Labour Market Integration of Lone Mothers and Mothers with a Partner who Receive Welfare Benefits
In the first decade of the twenty-first century, there have been reforms in German family and social policy, aimed at improving reconciliation of work and family and linking receipt of welfare benefits more strongly on activation and labour market participation. Mothers receiving welfare benefits are subject to both new policies. In this article, it is investigated how these mothers succeed in entering the labour market and what its determinants …
