This study investigates the impact of child-related absence from work on the income of working mothers and fathers, addressing a significant research gap in sociology and labour economics. While previous research has established that gender and parenthood significantly influence income levels, the consequences of caring for a sick child—a common an...

The study investigates the consequences of work-to-family conflicts in telecommuting arrangements for parents’ sleep duration. We discuss the potential relationships from the perspective of flexible resources and greedy roles. The study conducts moderated mediation analyses of telecommuting on sleep duration through work-to-family conflicts and add...

This study analyzes the effects of gender and occupational status differences on parents’ work-to-family conflicts, comparing COVID-19 pandemic and pre-pandemic periods. It is examined whether this association is mediated by parents’ telework. Theoretically, we use the work/family border theory and flexible resource versus greedy role perspectives...

The central theoretical assumption is that work-to-family conflicts are having a direct impact on parental self-efficacy, and thus, play an important role within the parent-child relationship. This study examines relationships between work-family conflicts and parental self-efficacy, taking into account two potential moderators: gender and cultural...

Objective: This study investigates the extent to which employed mothers and fathers scale back on working hours or job pressures in response to work-to-family conflicts (WFC). Background: Drawing on the concept of adaptive family strategies, it is assumed that WFC is an antecedent to a reduction in work demands. Considering partners’ gender ideolog...

In Germany, like in many other countries, much of the research on technological changes and their consequences has been devoted to investigating the field of industrial production. A shortcoming of this research is that many female-dominated occupations are excluded per se from consideration. However, whether and to what extent men’s and women’s pe...

In family research, there have not yet been many attempts to grasp theoretically and empirically solidarity in couple relationships, a gap that this study addresses combining qualitative and quantitative strategies. One purpose of this article is to develop a theoretical framework to understand solidarity as an overarching structural element of coo...

Objective: The study investigates how partner support affects different types of work-to-family and family-to-work conflicts in dual-earner couples divided by gender and parenthood. Background: In Germany, as in other Western Countries, interrole conflicts between work and family increase, especially within dual-earner couples. Only few studies fo...

In family research, there have not yet been attempts to grasp theoretically and empirically solidarity in romantic relationships, a gap that this study addresses combining qualitative and quantitative strategies. The purpose of this paper is to develop a theoretical framework to understand solidarity as an overarching structural element of cooperat...

Eine Vielzahl an empirischen Studien hat die zunehmende Bedeutung von prekären Beschäftigungsverhältnissen und deren Einfluss auf den individuellen Lebenslauf aufgezeigt. Ein wichtiger Befund dieser Studien ist, dass Prekarität gesellschaftliche Teilhabebedingungen und -chancen einschränkt. Jedoch wird Prekarität in quantitativen Untersuchungen bis...

Die vorliegende Festschrift würdigt die wissenschaftliche Karriere von Hans-Jürgen Andreß, während der er unter anderem die Methodenentwicklung im Bereich längsschnittlicher Analysemethoden geprägt und einflussreiche empirische Studien zu Armut, Ungleichheit und den Folgen kritischer Lebensereignisse vorgelegt hat. Der Band vereint nun diese beide...

With the focus on gender inequalities within families, we examine the influence of supportive parenting on the socio-economic status of the desired occupation of adolescents. On the basis of theories and findings of gender-specific socialization research, we examine whether the effect of supportive parenting differs between the four gender-specific...

In Germany, as in other modern societies, a low representation of women in top positions remains a stable form of gender inequality in the labour market. This article examines the extent to which a partner’s labour market and financial resources influence gender-specific probabilities of obtaining a leadership position. Well-established theories ar...

Based upon research on “coupled careers”, the partnership is seen as an important context where not only career opportunities but also barriers are generated. Using data from the Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), this article pays particular attention to status homogamy and partners’ social support as beneficial aspects of partnerships for career...

Many economic and social surveys are designed as panel studies, which provide important data for describing social changes and testing causal relations between social phenomena. This textbook shows how to manage, describe, and model these kinds of data. It presents models for continuous and categorical dependent variables, focusing either on the le...

The chapter discusses statistical techniques to specify and estimate regression models for categorical dependent variables. Again, they focus either on the level or the change of the dependent variable. As an example of the former type, the logistic regression model with fixed and random effects is introduced. Discrete-time event history models are...

The chapter discusses statistical techniques to specify and estimate regression models for continuous dependent variables. They focus either on the level or the change of the dependent variable. While most techniques explicitly model the panel design, some only control for the serial correlations, e.g., by using robust standard errors. Ordinary or...

The textbook is intended as a motivation for social scientists and other researchers to pursue their own research projects using panel data. To this end, this chapter provides an overview over existing panel studies that are available for the scientific community. Moreover, it points to the more applied literature that introduces interested readers...

The last chapter includes useful background information (e.g., the book’s website with example data sets and syntax files) and reviews some basic statistical terms (random variables, estimation, testing) that are helpful to understand the statistical discussions in the text.

Panel data are usually more complex than cross-section data. Hence, before starting a statistical analysis, it is necessary to extract the relevant information from a larger data base often consisting of several data files. Panel data can be stored for statistical analysis either in wide or in long format. The chapter introduces the main data manag...

Since the panel design observes the same units repeatedly over time, observations at time point t will not be independent of observations made before t. This serial correlation contradicts the assumption of independent observations, which forms the basis of many classical methods of statistical inference. While the independence assumption is easily...

In this technical report, we propose a short survey instrument for measurement of social support within partnerships with a particular focus on received and provided emotional and instrumental support in different work-related situations. The paper begins with a brief summary of our scientific motivation and highlights some important gaps in existi...

Strong gender inequalities persist in the career advancement of men and women. Vertical and horizontal dimensions of segregation, gender role beliefs, and the public provision of welfare services all provide explanations for gender inequalities. Much less is known about the social mechanisms at work within couples, however. Following the notion of...

In contemporary societies, the growing need for flexibility and its impact on labour markets are highly debated. The deregulation of labour markets has led to a growing proportion of workers in various atypical employment relationships, such as temporary jobs. In this respect Spain stands out, from a European perspective, as a country that has expe...
