Nonstandard work schedules and work-life balance in dual-earner households
Objective: This study examines whether nonstandard work schedules (NSWS) improve or hinder work-life balance (WLB) for parents and non-parents in dual-earner households. Background: Previous research shows that NSWS can negatively affect workers' well-being. However, less is known about whether and to what extent these effects differ between parents and childless individuals. Method: Using data from the first wave of the German Family Demography …

One reason gender earning gaps persist is that well-paid jobs presume long work hours, and these are incompatible with family care. Long hours also harm health, and the risks may increase for workers with care and domestic workloads, adding a gendered health penalty. Using representative, longitudinal data from Australia and Germany (144,430–153,659 observations for HILDA and SOEP surveys, respectively, 2002–2022), we model the interconnections b…
Relationship Satisfaction Across the Transition to Parenthood
The transition to parenthood is often accompanied by declines in relationship satisfaction. Using longitudinal data from six waves of the German family panel pairfam ( N = 1,739), the authors tested whether these declines are driven by increases in and more intense forms of conflict (differential exposure hypothesis) and by a greater sensitivity to relationship conflicts after the transition to parenthood (differential vulnerability hypothesis). …
Long work hours of mothers and fathers are linked to increased risk for overweight and obesity among preschool children
BACKGROUND: Most existing studies on maternal employment and childhood overweight/obesity are from the USA. They are predominantly cross-sectional and show a consistent linear association between the two. Less is known about the joint impact of fathers' and mothers' work hours on childhood overweight and obesity. OBJECTIVES: To examine the impact of maternal and paternal work hours on overweight/obesity among children aged 1-6 years in Germany us…
The reproduction of educational inequalities - do parenting and child behavioural problems matter
The strong link between parental socioeconomic status (SES) and children's success in school is well established. However, mechanisms that underpin this association remain a major issue in current research on social inequality. Using data from the Families in Germany Study and structural equation modelling, this study demonstrates that parenting styles and child behavioural problems explain, in part, the association between parental SES and child…
Evening and night work schedules and children's social and emotional well-being
An emerging body of evidence shows that parents’ non-standard work schedules have a detrimental effect on children's well-being. However, only a limited number of studies have investigated mediating factors that underpin this association. Likewise, only a few studies have examined the impact of fathers’ non-standard work schedules on children's well-being. Based on data from the Families in Germany Study (FiD), this study aimed to address these r…
Single Motherhood and Life Satisfaction in Comparative Perspective
Life satisfaction research regularly identifies single mothers as relatively unhappy. This comparative study refines this view by assessing how broader institutional and cultural contexts shape the life satisfaction of single mothers. Using data from the European Social Survey for 24 European countries, this study shows that generous family benefits, extensive child care provision, and high levels of gender equality are associated with smaller li…
Poverty and Child Behavioral Problems
The detrimental impact of poverty on child behavioral problems is well-established, but the mechanisms that explain this relationship are less well-known. Using data from the Families in Germany Study on parents and their children at ages 9-10 (middle childhood), this study extends previous research by examining whether or not and to what extent different parenting styles and parents' subjective well-being explain the relationship between poverty…
Sons, Daughters, and the Parental Division of Paid Work and Housework
Children play an important role in shaping the division of labor within couples. This study examines whether the impact of parenthood on the household division of paid work and housework is moderated by child gender, and thereby extends previous work on the effect of child gender on family life. The empirical analysis used fixed effects models and data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (1985-2011, N = 7,572). It showed that both fathers and mo…
The Work and Wishes of Fathers
We examine the connection between fatherhood and employment hours using 30 years of data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP 1985–2014). By inspecting how actual hours, preferred hours, and the correspondence between actual and preferred hours change during fatherhood, we clarify the interplay between fathers’ preferences and the labour market structures they encounter. We find that men born in 1960 or earlier prefer to (and are able to) i…
Aktuelle Entwicklungen in der deutschen Familiensoziologie
How and in which areas did our knowledge of family structures, family dynamics and the determinants of family change improve in the past decade? Which substantive areas receive most attention and which questions are underresearched? Which methods are commonly applied in empirical family research and what can we say about data availability? This article reviews the current discussion and recent research on these questions in German family sociolog…
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…
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…
Elternschaft und Lebenszufriedenheit in Deutschland
Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Elternschaft und Lebenszufriedenheit. Im Zentrum des Interesses steht die Frage, inwiefern die elterliche Lebenszufriedenheit durch individuelle und familiale Kontextfaktoren beeinflusst wird. Grundlage der empirischen Untersuchung sind die Daten der ersten Welle des Beziehungs- und Familienpanels (pairfam). Insgesamt zeigen die durchgeführten Querschnittsanalysen, dass Eltern zwar eine…
Vertikale und horizontale Fehlqualifikation von Lehrabsolventen im Kohortenvergleich
Der Beitrag untersucht die Entwicklung vertikaler und horizontaler Fehlqualifikation von Berufseinsteigern mit einer betrieblichen Ausbildung. Anhand der vom Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung erhobenen Westdeutschen Lebensverlaufsstudie analysieren wir den Berufseinstieg von Lehrabsolventen aus sechs Geburtskohorten, die zwischen 1939 und 1971 geboren wurden. Gemäß unseren Analysen hat sich das Ausmaß an vertikaler sowie horizontaler Fehl…
Erwerbsverläufe in Ostdeutschland – Inklusion und Exklusion seit 1989
Warum in diesem Band ein eigenes Kapitel über Erwerbsverläufe speziell in Ostdeutschland – mittlerweile 20 Jahre nach dem Fall der Mauer? Lediglich in den ersten Transformationsjahren, ca. bis zur Mitte der 1990er Jahre, fand dieses Thema breites wissenschaftliches wie öffentliches Interesse. Die erste mögliche Antwort auf diese Frage lautet: weil Ostdeutschland als die „Neuen Länder“ bis heute nicht zu einem bloßen, eher diffus markierten Region…

Dies ist zum einen das Modell des Familienernährers, dem zufolge Väter ihre beruflichen Anstrengungen erhöhen, und zum anderen das Modell der neuen Vaterschaft, wonach Väter zu einem stärkeren Engagement in der Familienarbeit, auch auf Kosten der Erwerbstätigkeit, neigen.

Crowding-out of Unskilled Workers in the Business Cycle
The paper addresses the question of if and how processes of cyclical crowding-out contribute to the disproportionate increase in unemployment of the less-educated during recessions. To this end, transitions from unemployment to low-skilled jobs and vice versa are analysed using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP). It is found that skilled workers increasingly occupy low-skilled jobs during recessions and thus diminish employment cha…
Unemployment Benefits, Unemployment Duration and Subsequent Job Quality
The high unemployment figures in many European countries are often attributed to overgenerous unemployment benefits. However, proponents of benefit cuts tend not to recognize that unemployment benefits also facilitate longer job searches and, as a result, ultimately improve job matches. In this article, we investigate the effects of unemployment benefits on subsequent job quality by differentiating between transitions from unemployment to correct…
