Covid-19 Pandemic, Volunteering, and Well-Being
The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated containment measures presented significant challenges in personal and social spheres, prompting the reorganization of prosocial activities. Despite the recognized buffering function of volunteering on well-being of older adults, it remains uncertain whether this function was maintained during the pandemic. Drawing on the framework of weak ties, this study investigates how starting, continuing, and stopping…
Money Matters! Evidence From a Survey Experiment on Attitudes Toward Maternal Employment Across Contexts in Germany
This paper examines the context dependency of attitudes toward maternal employment. We test three sets of factors that may affect these attitudes-economic benefits, normative obligations, and child-related consequences-by analyzing data from a unique survey experimental design implemented in a large-scale household panel survey in Germany (17,388 observations from 3,494 respondents). Our results show that the economic benefits associated with mat…
Digital Gender Gap in the Second Half of Life Is Declining
Overall time trends support the complementary hypothesis. By contrast, the finding that women have been catching up in some male-typed online activities during the COVID-19 pandemic supports the compensatory hypothesis
How can we become more equal? Public policies and parents’ work–family preferences in Germany
This study examines how public policies affect parents’ preferences for a more egalitarian division of paid and unpaid work. Based on the assumption that individuals develop their preferences within a specific policy context, we examine how changes in three policies affect mothers’ and fathers’ work–family preferences: the availability of high-quality, affordable childcare; the right to return to a full-time job after having reduced hours to part…
Geschlechterungleichheiten im Arbeitsleben und subjektiven Wohlbefinden von Erwerbstätigen während der Covid-19-Pandemie
Wie hat sich die COVID-19 Pandemie auf geschlechtsspezifische Ungleichheiten im Arbeitsleben und dem subjektiven Wohlbefinden Erwerbstätiger ausgewirkt? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage analysiert dieser Beitrag drei Wellen einer nicht zufallsbasierten Onlinestichprobe für den Zeitraum Mitte März bis Anfang August 2020 und umfassen damit den Zeitraum des ersten Lockdowns. Die Ergebnisse unserer multivariaten Analysen zeigen: Frauen, Eltern und insbe…
Parenthood as a driver of increased gender inequality during Covid-19? Exploratory evidence from Germany
Drawing on three waves of survey data from a non-probability sample from Germany, this paper examines two opposing expectations about the pandemic’s impacts on gender equality: The optimistic view suggests that gender equality has increased, as essential workers in Germany have been predominantly female and as fathers have had more time for childcare. The pessimistic view posits that lockdowns have also negatively affected women’s jobs and that m…
Paternal Part-Time Employment and Fathers' Long-Term Involvement in Child Care and Housework
ObjectiveThis study examines whether paternal part-time employment is related to greater involvement by fathers in child care and housework, both while fathers are working part-time and after they return to full-time employment.BackgroundThe study draws on four strands of theory-time availability, bargaining, gender ideology, and gender construction. It studies couples' division of labor in Germany, where policies increasingly support a dual-earn…
What Helps and What Hinders? Exploring the Role of Workplace Characteristics for Parental Leave Use and Its Career Consequences
The division of parental leave among couples today is still unequal-even in countries with progressive leave schemes. Given the gendered nature of the workplace, we examine how organizational characteristics relate to fathers' uptake and length of parental leave as well as to the perceived career consequences of leave uptake among those fathers who took leave. In our mixed methods study, we draw on unique quantitative and qualitative data on diff…
The association between social support networks and maternal employment
A lack of adequate childcare can delay mothers’ return to the labor market after childbirth. This paper examines whether social support with childcare by kin and friends facilitates maternal employment in the first 72 months after childbirth. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) 1993–2009, a comparison of natives (n = 1409) and migrants (n = 411) in corporative-conservative western Germany with mothers in former socialist easter…
Parenthood, child care, and nonstandard work schedules in Europe
An increasing proportion of the European labor force works in the evening, at night or on weekends. Because nonstandard work schedules are associated with a number of negative outcomes for families and children, parents may seek to avoid such schedules. However, for parents with insufficient access to formal child care, working nonstandard hours or days may be an adaptive strategy used to manage child-care needs. It enables ‘split-shift’ parentin…
Die Vereinbarkeitsfrage für Männer
Family policies and fathers' working hours
Despite extensive research on the effect of family policies on the labour supply of mothers, little is known about how these policies affect fathers' labour market outcomes. Using European panel data (EU-SILC) from 2003 to 2009 and multi-level models, this study analyses the effect of family policies on fathers' working hours. The results indicate that fathers work less than childless men if they live in countries that offer well paid, non-transf…
What Happens after the 'Daddy Months'? Fathers' Involvement in Paid Work, Childcare, and Housework after Taking Parental Leave in Germany
El objetivo Se analiza si existe relación entre el diseño de los permisos parentales remunerados y la prevalencia y duración de la lactancia materna, a la vez que se estudian los factores de riesgo y de protección, incluidas la lactancia y la participación materna en el mercado laboral, en la salud mental de la infancia a medio y largo plazo. Se realizan dos estudios cuantitativos en un contexto español urbano, partiendo de una encuesta represent…
