    Auth, Diana, Jutta Hergenhan & Barbara Holland-Cunz (Hrsg.) (2017): Gender and family in European economic policy. Developments in the new millennium. Cham: Springer Palgrave Macmillan, 267 S. DOI:10.1007/978-3-319-41513-0

    Abstract

    "This collection explores how pioneering gender equality policies have shaped women's economic presence in Europe since 2000. Equal pay policies, parental leave reforms, corporate quotas and electoral quotas have raised pressing questions about the effectiveness in promoting equal participation, as researchers quote both quantitative improvement in gender diversity and qualitative lag in cultural change. The chapters in this book present interlocking cross-national and cross-policy comparisons of the three most controversial reforms: equal pay, parental leave, and quotas for political representatives. The contributors address the cultural context in which reforms arose, internally contradictory policies, and the relative effectiveness of fast-track quotas and incentives compared to long-term efforts to change the overall culture of gender. This critical examination of the new millennium's groundbreaking gender policies will appeal to academics and practitioners interested in the progress of gender equality in the economic, political, and social welfare fields."

    Quantifying the Disincentive Effects of Joint Taxation on Married Women's Labor Supply (2017)

    Bick, Alexander & Nicola Fuchs-Schündeln (2017): Quantifying the Disincentive Effects of Joint Taxation on Married Women's Labor Supply. In: The American economic review, Jg. 107, H. 5, S. 100-104. DOI:10.1257/aer.p20171063

    Abstract

    "We quantify the disincentive effects of elements of joint taxation in the labor income tax codes of 17 European countries and the US. We analyze the extent to which hours worked of married men and women would change if each country switched to a system of separate taxation of married couples. In this hypothetical tax reform, we keep the average tax burden of married households constant. With the exception of four countries featuring already a system of separate taxation, the model predicts that married women's hours worked increase on average by 115 hours, or 10.5 percent, through this reform."

    Brandt, Gesche (2017): Elternzeit von Vätern als Verhandlungssache in Partnerschaften. In: Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie, Jg. 69, H. 4, S. 593-622. DOI:10.1007/s11577-017-0486-6

    Abstract

    "Trotz einer stetig wachsenden Väterbeteiligung wird der überwiegende Anteil der Elternzeit von Müttern übernommen. Was sind die Gründe dafür und welche Konstellationen innerhalb der Partnerschaft fördern oder hindern die Väterbeteiligung an der Elternzeit? Untersucht wird, wie die Relation der ökonomischen Ressourcen, der Familienorientierung und der beruflichen Rahmenbedingungen vor der Geburt des ersten Kindes die Aushandlung des Paares zur Elternzeit des Vaters beeinflussen. Anhand multinominaler logistischer Regression wird die Wahrscheinlichkeit untersucht, dass Väter 1) eine mehr als zweimonatige Elternzeit, 2) eine ein- bis zweimonatige oder 3) keine Elternzeit nehmen. Die Analysen fokussieren Zweiverdienerpaare und basieren auf einer Onlinevertiefungsbefragung des DZHW-Hochschulabsolventenpanels (Abschlusskohorte 2001) aus dem Jahr 2012. Ein höheres Erwerbseinkommen des Vaters sowie familienfreundlichere berufliche Rahmenbedingungen der Partnerin und eine höhere Familienorientierung der Partnerin weisen einen negativen Zusammenhang zur Väterbeteiligung auf. Förderlich sind eine höhere Familienorientierung des Vaters und die Elternzeitregelungen ab 2007." (Autorenreferat, © Springer-Verlag)

    Human resource management and family-friendly work practices: Mechanisms, boundary conditions and employee-based outcomes (2017)

    Ebert, Julia (2017): Human resource management and family-friendly work practices. Mechanisms, boundary conditions and employee-based outcomes. (Schriftenreihe Strategic human capital management 05), München: HCM-Verlag, 240 S.

    Abstract

    "As part of their employee-oriented human resource management (HRM) systems, firms increasingly offer family-friendly work practices (FFWP) that are intended to help employees reconcile their work life with their private responsibilities. These include flexible working time arrangements, telework, childcare support, and related practices. While the public debate predominantly assumes that these practices positively affect firm performance, empirical research provides only limited evidence for the assumption. Therefore, research has focused on mediating mechanisms like employee attitudes and behaviors. This dissertation analyzes the effects of HRM practices and FFWP on attitudinal and behavioral employee outcomes by studying mechanisms, boundary conditions, and comparing methodological approaches. The first two studies empirically examine the influence of FFWP on two important retention-related outcomes, that is, voluntary turnover, and mother┐s return to their employer after childbirth. The third study considers the potential interactive nature of HRM practices. It evaluates two different methodological approaches for identifying interactions between HRM practices: hierarchical linear models and neural networks." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    The joint decision of female labour supply and childcare in Italy under costs and availability constraints (2017)

    Figari, Francesco & Edlira Narazani (2017): The joint decision of female labour supply and childcare in Italy under costs and availability constraints. (EUROMOD working paper 2017,12), Colchester, 32 S.

    Abstract

    "It is widely recognized that childcare has important pedagogical, economic and social effects on both children and parents. This paper is the first attempt to estimate a joint structural model of female labour supply and childcare behaviour applied to Italy in order to analyse the effects of relaxing the existing constraints in terms of childcare availability and costs by considering public, private and informal childcare. Results suggest that Italian households might alter their childcare and labour supply behaviours substantially if the coverage rate of formal childcare increases to reach the European targets. Overall, increasing child care coverage is estimated to be more effective in enhancing labour incentives than decreasing existing child care costs, at the same budgetary cost."

    Abstract

    "This book portrays men's experiences of home alone leave and how it affects their lives and family gender roles in different policy contexts and explores how this unique parental leave design is implemented in these contrasting policy regimes. The book brings together three major theoretical strands: social policy, in particular the literature on comparative leave policy developments; family and gender studies, in particular the analysis of gendered divisions of work and care and recent shifts in parenting and work-family balance; critical studies of men and masculinities, with a specific focus on fathers and fathering in contemporary western societies and life-courses. Drawing on empirical data from in-depth interviews with fathers across eleven countries, the book shows that the experiences and social processes associated with fathers' home alone leave involve a diversity of trends, revealing both innovations and absence of change, including pluralization as well as the constraining influence of policy, gender, and social context. As a theoretical and empirical book it raises important issues on modernization of the life course and the family in contemporary societies. The book will be of particular interest to scholars in comparing western societies and welfare states as well as to scholars seeking to understand changing work-life policies and family life in societies with different social and historical pathways."

    Abstract

    "Das im Jahr 2007 eingeführte Elterngeld hat soziale Normen verändert. Wie dieser Bericht zeigt, gehen die meisten Frauen nach der Geburt ihres Kindes ein Jahr in Elternzeit - vor allem Mütter mit mittleren und höheren Einkommen, die von den früheren Erziehungsgeldregelungen nicht hätten profitieren können, pausieren also länger von ihrem Beruf. Weitgehend gesellschaftlich akzeptiert ist, dass auch Väter Elternzeit nehmen, meist zwei Monate. Die Analysen verdeutlichen, dass nicht nur die finanziellen Anreize selbst, sondern auch das Verhalten von Arbeitskolleginnen Eltern in diese Richtung gelenkt haben. Darüber hinaus wirkt das Elterngeld auch auf Personen, die gar nicht selbst Elterngeld beziehen: So haben viele Großeltern, deren Söhne nach Einführung des Elterngeldes Kinder bekommen haben, ihre Vorstellungen von Geschlechterrollen verändert. Um eine egalitäre Aufgabenverteilung bei der Erwerbs- und Familienarbeit zu forcieren, sind Erweiterungen des Elterngeldes, beispielsweise das vom DIW Berlin untersuchte Modell einer Familienarbeitszeit, geeignet. Auch Geldleistungen, die beispielsweise an eine stärkere Beteiligung der Väter bei der Kinderbetreuung geknüpft sind, könnten soziale Normen weiter verändern." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    Abstract

    "Regardless of their economic background, most working parents face the task of arranging childcare at some point. The decision-making process they experience is often complex, and this complexity is intensified for particular groups of families with limited financial and social resources. In this paper, we present findings from a three-year qualitative study of the childcare choices of low-income working families, many of whom were immigrants, had limited English proficiency, were parents of children with special needs, or represented some combination of these factors. The study explored families' current care arrangements, their reasons for selecting a particular form of childcare, and the characteristics of their ideal arrangements. Data were coded to identify themes in parental preferences, decision factors, and the barriers families faced in accessing their preferred care arrangements. Most significantly, the parents studied described their preferences for an environment where their children could learn and be in the presence of caring and trustworthy caregivers. About a third of the families said they preferred relatives as caregivers, and selected relatives to provide childcare. Other parents selected care according to cost, location, and availability of the provider; they described the challenges of locating affordable, high-quality care that met their nonstandard schedules. These findings have important implications for childcare policy." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Blessing or Curse?: Work-Family Policies and Mother's Wage Growth Over Time: Work-Family Policies and Mother’s Wage Growth Over Time (2004)

    Glass, Jennifer (2004): Blessing or Curse?: Work-Family Policies and Mother's Wage Growth Over Time. Work-Family Policies and Mother’s Wage Growth Over Time. In: Work and occupations, Jg. 31, H. 3, S. 367-394. DOI:10.1177/0730888404266364

    Abstract

    "Little empirical study has been devoted to the impact of employer-sponsored work-family policies on women’s wages. These policies include flexible scheduling, telecommuting, reduced hours of work, and child care assistance. Although these work innovations may make family caregiving easier, many women fear that lower wage growth and blocked mobility will result from the use of these policies. This project followed a midwestern cohort of employed women for 7 years after childbirth, using detailed information about coverage and use of family responsive policies across all jobs held during that period. Results show consistent negative effects of policy use on wage growth after controlling for many productivity-related characteristics, though the effects vary in size depending on the specific policy used, workers’ job mobility, and the respondent’s managerial or professional status."

(1992): Social security and changing family structures. (International Social Security Association. Studies and research 29), Geneva, 228 S.

    Abstract

    "Social security has often been criticised on the ground that, having been conceived in a period and for a society in which the family represented a stable institution, the man providing the means of subsistence for his dependents and the woman looking after the household chores and the children, it has failed to adapt itself to the real situation of today's families. However justified this criticism may be in some cases and countries, it overlooks the many measures adopted by social security schemes during the past twenty or twenty-five years to meet new needs and adjust to the new situations created by the recent changes in family structures. This book attempts to analyse the repercussions for social security of the advent of new family models, in particular one-parent families, and of the changes in the functions of the family in society."
