Building on Progress
This publication provides a comprehensive compendium of the current state of Germany’s research infrastructure in the social, economic, and behavioural sciences. In addition, the book presents detailed discussions of the current needs of empirical researchers in these fields as well as of opportunities for future development. The importance of solid data for both public policy and the social and economic sciences is obvious. Today, empirical research is essential in finding solutions to many of the major challenges our society faces, such as environmental change, turbulent financial markets, and population growth. Based on 68 advisory reports by more than 100 internationally recognised authors from a wide range of fields, the book provides recommendations by the German Data Forum (RatSWD) on how to improve the research infrastructure so as to create conditions ideal for making Germany’s social, economic, and behavioural sciences more innovative and internationally competitive.
Women in the Workforce
An accessible overview of the power of women in the economy and the obstacles they face Women are joining the workforce in increasing numbers, making inroads as entrepreneurs and leaders, acquiring more education, marrying later, and having fewer children - all trends consistent with spending a far greater fraction of their adult lives in the labor force. And yet, even as women break the glass ceiling and challenge gender and sexual norms, they are told they need to lean in and powerful movements like #TimesUP and #MeToo are still necessary to expose and overcome endemic discrimination, exploitation, harassment, and worse. Women in the Workforce: What Everyone Needs to Know (R) provides an e...

Rebecca sits with one child in front of a packet of math homework, while three others clamor for her attention. In Dreams of the Overworked, Christine M. Beckman and Melissa Mazmanian off...
Dependencies and Mechanisms of Unemployment and Social Involvement
People’s involvement in social groups and networks constitutes a resource for societies and individuals. More specifically, involvement represents the basis upon which social integration takes place and provides access to material and non-material goods considered to be rewarding for individuals. Despite substantial research suggesting that unemployment triggers social exclusion and social isolation, evidence for the causal influence of unemployment on social involvement is limited. Past studies typically have relied on research methods that are unable to address causality. Using long-term panel data from Germany and panel estimation methods, Bettina Sonnenberg investigates the causal effects of unemployment on people’s social involvement. By taking into account selection confounds, she shows that findings from cross-sectional research are misleading and have advanced inaccurate conclusions regarding the social consequences of unemployment.

Leben in Ost- und Westdeutschland
Hat Deutschland zwanzig Jahre nach dem Fall der Mauer seine Trennung überwunden? Ist »zusammengewachsen, was zusammengehört«? In diesem Band versuchen Soziologinnen und Soziologen diese umstrittene Frage mithilfe empirischer Vergleiche der Entwicklung der Lebensbedingungen und -verläufe in Ost und West zu beantworten. Der Aufbau orientiert sich an den typischen Phasen des Lebensverlaufs: Kindheit, Jugend, Erwachsensein, Altern. Er beleuchtet Aspekte wie Schule und Bildung, Partnerschaft und Familie, Arbeitsmarkt und Erwerbsleben, Lebensstandard und Konsumstile, soziale Integration und politische Beteiligung. Grundlage der Bilanzierung bildet das SOEP, eine national und international vielfach ausgewertete Längsschnitterhebung, die seit 1984 (zunächst nur in Westdeutschland) jährlich bei denselben Personen und Haushalten durchgeführt wird und 1990 auch auf das Gebiet der ehemaligen DDR ausgedehnt wurde.
