Is there a pension penalty for late-career family caregiving in Germany? The role of pension care credits and employment career
Unpaid care for ill, disabled, or frail older family members (hereafter ‘family care’) is most common in late career. Because caregiving can be difficult to reconcile with paid work, it may reduce pension contribution records and later-life financial well-being. Many European countries therefore provide pension care credits, yet eligibility is selective and many caregivers remain uncredited. Against this background, we examine how late-career pen…
The retirement impact on housing cost burden
Existing research on housing cost burden focuses on its evolution over time. Few empirical studies, meanwhile, investigate changes in housing cost burden as a function of age. Literature is also scarce on how people’s housing cost burden is affected by the act of retiring. In order to fill this research gap, we examine how the burden of housing costs tends to change after retirement and how the impact of retirement on housing cost burden differs …
Mobility restriction and barrier-reduced housing among people aged 65 or older in Germany
Introduction: Older people spend a lot of time at home and in the area near where they live. Housing conditions ensure their ability to participate in social life, especially when they suffer from mobility restrictions. Barrier-free access to the residence and to rooms within the residence is a key condition for their everyday mobility. As a result, this is what we define as minimal criteria for barrier-reduced residences. This article examines t…
Rising housing costs and income poverty among the elderly in Germany
Housing costs have been increasing rapidly in Germany in recent years.

Using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we examine how changes in housing costs between 1996 and 2017 have affected income poverty among Germany’s over-65s. Our results reveal that higher costs have ind…
