Crisis vulnerability and social stratification: Educational inequalities in political trust dynamics during the Covid-19 pandemic
From parenthood to planet care? The evolution of environmental and climate concerns during family formation
We examine the effect of childbirth on parents’ environmental and climate concerns, focusing on potentially dynamic changes in concerns within a time span of 2 years before and up to 10 years after birth. Additionally, we explore the effect of heterogeneities by gender and educational attainment. Using long-running survey data from the German Socio-economic Panel Study (GSOEP, 1984–2020, N = 108,340) and estimating linear probability models with …
Did social change strengthen genetic associations? Gendered educational attainment before and after German reunification
The Job Task Penalty for Motherhood
Objective This study examines how childbirth affects women's job tasks. Background Motherhood remains a key source of gendered inequalities in the labor market. Yet little is known about how it reshapes women's work content, even though job tasks are critical for job quality, skill development, and long‐term career trajectories. Method Using panel data from the German National Educational Panel Study (2011–2020), we analyze within‐person changes …
From rally to reality: Unveiling long-term dynamics in political trust over two years of Covid-19 in Germany
Crises like wars, terrorist attacks, and economic or health crises are frequently followed by profound changes in political trust. Whereas immediate external threats often induce a strong initial increase in political trust, the ‘rally-around-the-flag’ effect, prolonged crises are more detrimental to this core feature of political support. We extend previous research on political trust during extended crises by using the case of the global Covid-…
Polarisierung oder Verringerung ungleicher Teilnahmechancen? Auswirkungen der Covid-19-Pandemie auf das berufliche Lernen im Erwachsenenalter
In politischen und wissenschaftlichen Diskursen wird immer wieder betont, wie wichtig das lebenslange Lernen in den heutigen Wissensgesellschaften ist. Gleichzeitig ist die Teilnahme an berufsbezogener Weiterbildung (BWB) aber nach wie vor sozial stratifiziert: Es profitieren vor allem diejenigen, die sowieso schon bessere Voraussetzungen und mehr Ressourcen mitbringen. Obgleich die Corona-Pandemie das Angebot an und die Nachfrage nach Weiterbild…
The evolution of family policies and couples' housework division after childbirth in Germany, 1994–2019
Objective We examine how the re‐traditionalization effect of childbirth on couples' division of housework has evolved over time as a result of major family policy change. Background Supportive family policies are associated with a more egalitarian division of labor. However, it remains unclear how a country's transition from a modernized male breadwinner regime that supports maternal care to family policies that promote maternal employment and pa…
Does the provision of childcare reduce motherhood penalties in job-related training participation? Longitudinal evidence from Germany
Previous studies highlight gender differences in job-related training participation, particularly in countries with few family policies supporting maternal employment. This study examines whether higher levels of state-subsidized childcare provision are positively linked to mothers’ participation in job-related training. It combines individual-level data from the National Educational Panel Study for Germany (NEPS-SC6 adult cohort, N = 5504, 2008–…
Participation in Job-Related Training: Is There a Parenthood Training Penalty
Gender inequalities in paid and unpaid work are well documented, but patterns of advantage or disadvantage in further job-related training have been less explored. Previous cross-sectional studies indicate gender differences in further training, with lower participation rates and shorter training sessions for women, especially mothers. Based on the National Educational Panel Study for Germany (adult cohort, 2008-2020), this study is the first to …
Reduced well‐being during the Covid‐19 pandemic – The role of working conditions
The COVID‐19 pandemic has had diverse impacts on the employment conditions and family responsibilities of men and women. Thus, women and men were exposed to very different roles and associated challenges, which may have affected their well‐being very differently. Using data from the National Educational Panel Study and its supplementary COVID‐19 web survey for Germany (May–June 2020), we investigate gender differences in the relationship between …
Thirty Years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall-Do East and West Germans Still Differ in Their Attitudes to Female Employment and the Division of Housework
Previous cross-sectional studies highlight persistent East-West differences in gender ideologies after German reunification. This study examines the extent to which gender ideologies in the East and West have converged and whether differences are still relevant for younger cohorts who experienced childhood around the time of reunification, or after 1989. Using data from the German Family Panel pairfam (2008-2019) and differences in regime-specifi…
Who cares when care closes? Care-arrangements and parental working conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic in Germany
This study examines the short-term consequences for care-arrangements among working parents, who were affected by the closure of schools and institutional childcare as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. By applying multinomial logistic regression models to novel data from two panel surveys of the National Educational Panel Study and its supplementary COVID-19 web survey, the study finds that mothers continue to play a key role in the c…
Public childcare provision and employment participation of East and West German mothers with different educational backgrounds
By focusing on a period of a major public childcare expansion in Germany, this study investigates whether higher levels of childcare coverage for under-threes have been positively associated with employment among mothers with different educational backgrounds. Both standard economic labour theories and sociological theories presume that the effect of public childcare provision varies with mothers’ educational attainment. The analysis links county…
Gender-of-Interviewer Effects in Self-Reported Gender Ideologies: Evidence Based on Interviewer Change in a Panel Survey
Survey methodology research has provided evidence for a social desirability bias based on interviewer gender (see Krumpal, 2013 and West & Blom, 2017 for an overview). However, only a few studies have examined gender-of-interviewer effects in the context of gender ideologies, gender discrimination, or political participation. In these fields, respondents report less traditional answers to female interviewers than to male interviewers (Benstead, 2…
Change in the gender division of domestic work after mothers or fathers took leave: Exploring alternative explanations
This study investigates how the durations of childcare leaves taken by mothers and fathers in Germany relate to the gender division of housework and childcare after labour market return. It examines to what extent changes in economic resources because of leave take-up may account for adaptations in the division of domestic work of dual-earner couples. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (1992–2012) on about 800 couples with a first or…
Public Child-Care Expansion and Changing Gender Ideologies of Parents in Germany
This study investigates whether the expansion of public child care for children aged younger than 3 years in Germany has been associated with individual-level change in gender ideologies. The authors develop and test a theoretical framework of the short-term impact of family policy institutions on ideology change. The analysis links the German Family Panel pairfam (2008 to 2015) with administrative records on county-level child-care provision for…
The Expansion of Low-Cost, State-Subsidized Childcare Availability and Mothers' Return-to-Work Behaviour in East and West Germany
This study investigates whether increased availability of low-cost, state-subsidized childcare for under 3-year-olds in Germany is associated with shorter employment interruptions amongst mothers. By focusing on a major childcare reform in East and West Germany, we examine the effect in two contexts that differ markedly in the acceptance and use of formal childcare and maternal employment. We combine rich longitudinal data from the German Socio-E…
