[…] decision to migrate is based on the expected benefits of moving relative to the costs. However for couple households the migration decision is complicated by its potential impact on the employment, earnings, and well-being of both spouses. In particular, dual-earner families, which are more and more prevalent, may face a situation where one spouse […]
[…] non-employment. The distinction between types of promotion, made in our study, proved fruitful as it seems to explain gender differences in promotion probabilities. We show that the impact of gender on promotions depends crucially on how promotions are defined. Women are more likely than men to receive automatic promotions, but as likely to receive […]

We analyse the impact on schooling outcomes of growing up in a family headed by a single mother. Growing up in a non-intact family in Germany is associated with worse outcomes in models that do not control for possible correlations between common unobserved determinants of family structure and educational performance. But once endogeneity is […]
[…] of comparability between the retrospectively collected data from FFSs, this paper analyses the process of the diffusion of cohabitation in six European institutional contexts. It discusses the impact of the diffusion of cohabitation upon fundamental changes in the process of family formation in Sweden, France, West and East Germany, Spain and Italy. The analyses […]
[…] particular we would like to understand if differences in the reported job dissatisfaction between European countries reflect a rescaling of the dissatisfaction measures or, also, a different impact of the job dissatisfaction determinants. To this aim we estimate dissatisfaction models separately by country using fixed effects logit models. We test the equality of the […]
[…] regional and ethnic disaggregation not previously available for the UK. There is considerable heterogeneity in poverty levels between ethnic groups and across regions. Pakistanis and Bangladeshi-headed households fare particularly badly and there is ethnic variation in the impact of region on poverty rates. Over time there is some evidence of between-group convergence in poverty rates.
