“…Part time employment with relatively short working hours now seems to be the norm for mothers (Anxo et al, 2006). Portegijs et al (2006) conclude that 'views about employment and childcare are the main factors determining whether mothers are willing to work and whether they are prepared to use childcare facilities'.…”

“…Other problematic aspects can be seen in inflexible work-time schedules (e.g. Anxo and Fagan 2001;Anxo et al 2007) and still common traditional gender roles, which ascribe childrearing to women (Joshi 1998;Puur et al 2008). On the other hand simulation of the effects of the reform of the parental leave benefit show an increase in the participation of mothers (Spieß and Wrohlich, 2008).…”

“…Policies are oriented towards the model of the male-breadwinner (Honekamp 2008;Leitner et al 2008;Spieß and Wrohlich 2008), which is expressed in a tax-system and monetary transfers, which es-pecially restrain mothers from labor force participation (Althammer 2002;Esping-Andersen 1990;Iversen and Wren 1998). Besides direct and indirect monetary incentives other restraints are seen in work-time policies and the availability of child and elder care (Anxo et al 2007). Meyers et al (1999) analyzed policy efforts for compatibility of fertility and employment in a cross-national perspective focusing on child care and parental leave.…”

“…However, past trends in aggregate fertility and female participation show a significant negative correlation (Engelhardt et al 2004;Engelhardt and Prskawetz 2005;Kögel 2004). More precisely fertility is assumed to be lower for women in the labor force (Lauer and Weber 2003;Sullivan 2006), while the labor force participation of women with children is lower than the participation of childless women (Anxo and Fagan 2001;Anxo et al 2007;Geyer and Steiner 2007; for a general overview see Matysiak and Vignoli 2008). A main reason is seen in a lack of compatibility of childrearing and labor force participation and employment respectively (Anxo et al 2007;Hilgeman and Butts 2004;Kreyenfeld and Hank 2000;Meyers et al 1999;Schröder 2006).…”

Ceteris paribus a future increase in female participation rates should lower fertility, which in turn could affect population size, size of the labor force and population aging.…”

SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science.The decision to publish a submission in SOEPpapers is made by a board of editors chosen by the DIW Berlin to represent the wide range of disciplines covered by SOEP.

Christian Dudel * January 2009Abstract The aim of this paper is to show possible consequences of changes in labor force participation of women and the connection between fertility and labor force participation on the future demographic and economic development in Germany. For this purpose a projection model based on micro-data covering the population development as well as the development of the labor force is computed for different scenarios, varying in the extent of changes in female participation rates. The results point to a sharp decline in size of the total population and labor force as well as on negative effects of demographic development on growth, mediated through incompatibility of fertility and participation. It is argued that this incompatibility leads to a demographic dilemma, imposing negative effects on growth either in short or in long term.Keywords: Demographic forecast, labor supply, fertility, economic growth JEL Classification: J11, J21, O40 * Ruhr-Universität Bochum, e-mail: christian.dudel@rub.de.

The relationships between income, life satisfaction and emotional well‐being in European countries differing in wealth

The aim of this study is to investigate whether income has different relationships to subjective well‐being in richer countries compared to poorer ones. We report analyses based on interview data collected in the European Social Survey (n = 72,574) that examine how income relates to life satisfaction (LS) and emotional well‐being (EWB) in 28 European countries, varying in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. Our results indicate that the within‐country correlations of income with LS and EWB decrease as GDP per capita increases. Partial correlations controlling for EWB are positive but do not vary with GDP per capita, whereas partial correlations controlling for LS vary inversely with GDP per capita. We hypothesise that the invariant income‐LS relationships result from effects of relative income on social comparisons, while the varying income‐EWB relationships result from the negative impacts of time scarcity in richer countries and the buffering of negative experiences in poorer ones.
