“…Dies trifft für Frauen aus dem Osten Deutschlands jedoch nicht zu: gut ausgebildete Frauen können hier weiterhin keine für sich vorteilhaften Umzüge initiieren Zaiceva 2010). Durch diese Ergebnisse sind die in der Literatur gängigen haushaltsökonomischen Erklärungen als auch Sozialisationsansätze und Theorien der Geschlechteridentität herausgefordert: Denn lassen doch sowohl die egalitäreren Erwerbs-und Geschlechterarrangements ostdeutscher Haushalte als auch die nach wie vor stärkere Erwerbsorientierung und hohe Bildungsbeteiligung ostdeutscher Frauen genau das umgekehrte Muster erwarten (Klenner 2009). Verschärft wird das Erklärungsproblem durch Untersuchungsbefunde zur innerdeutschen Ost-West-Wanderung -ein Forschungsstrang, der bislang noch relativ unverbunden zur Migrationsforschung im Haushaltskontext steht.…”

“…Families also depended on the woman's income and spouses depended economically on each other. Moreover, the percentage of households with a female main (or sole) breadwinner increased (Klenner 2009). In several East German states, the right to childcare was even codified so that the familialist tendencies could not thwart the network of existing childcare facilities.…”

“…Data, however, suggest that there is a tendency toward more differentiation among couples. It seems that earner models have diversified meanwhile (Klenner 2009 not been legally defined as healthcare institutions in the 1950s and if they had not been the only facilities providing day care for children under the age of three, the belief that non-family care for young children has to be provided by healthcare professionals would not have emerged. In the latter case, private alternatives to crèches would have been able to be established more easily in Czechoslovakia and, subsequently, in the Czech Republic and Slovakia after 1989.…”

We examine pre-1989 and post-1989 work-care models in Czech, Slovak and East German societies. Inspired by the institutionalist approach, we develop a framework that allows to analyze how, when and why two distinct work-care models evolved and persisted in the region. Once problems of the modernized gender model emerged, Czechoslovak and East German governments set the two countries on two distinct work-care policy paths. Consequently, fundamental differences in work-care practices and work-care related values and norms emerged between the two countries. Based on an examination of the institutional and cultural legacy, we explain why the transition from totalitarian to democratic regimes was accompanied by continuity in work-care models rather than radical departures from the previous models. In contrast to traditional institutionalist studies we point out that more recent institutional changes in the sphere of work-care policies in Czech, Slovak and East German societies did not occur as a consequence of the 1989 revolutionary period, but rather evolved in a period of relative stability. Zusammenfassung Wir untersuchen Arrangements der Aufteilung von Erwerbsarbeit und Kinderbetreuung in Tschechien, der Slowakei und Ostdeutschland, vor und nach 1989. Basierend auf dem institutionalistischen Ansatz untersuchen wir, wie, wann und weshalb sich zwei unterschiedliche Arrangements in dieser Region entwickelt und durchgesetzt haben. Als die Konflikte des modernisierten Gender-Modells offenkundig wurden, schlugen die politischen Entscheidungsträger in der Tschechoslowakei und der DDR verschiedene Pfade ein, um Erwerbsarbeit und Kinderbetreuung in Einklang zu bringen. Infolgedessen entstanden zwischen den Ländern grundlegende Unterschiede in der Kombination von Erwerbsarbeit und Kinderbetreuung und in den damit verbundenen Werten und Normen. Wir erklären ausgehend von der Analyse des institutionellen und kulturellen Erbes dieser Länder, weshalb der Übergang von einem totalitären zu einem demokratischen Gesellschaftstypus mit einem hohen Maß an Kontinuität in den Arrangements der Kombination von Erwerbsarbeit und Kinderbetreuung einherging. Ein zentrales Ergebnis unserer Untersuchung ist, dass neuere Änderungen der institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen der Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie in Tschechien, der Slowakei und in Ostdeutschland nicht auf die massiven Umwälzungen im Zuge des Mauerfalles zurückgehen, sondern in einer Phase relativer Stabilität stattfanden.

“…After unification, the institutional transformation in East Germany caused important changes in female employment and careers. In the aftermath of unification, the employment rate of working mothers (Bonin andEuwals 2001, Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend 2015: 30) and the rate of couples with both partners working full-time decreased significantly (Klenner 2009). At the same time, women in West Germany increased their labour force participation (Simonson et al 2011), albeit to a considerable extent in part-time and often in the low-paid sector.…”

Extended Working Life Policies

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over the last few decades, the German pension system has undergone important changes, from the introduction of care credits to account for care responsibilities to the extension of working lives. This chapter provides an overview of recent pension reforms in Germany. Following a Bismarckian tradition, the German pension system is reliant on contributions made over the course of individual working lives. To account for the strong interdependency between employment and pension entitlements, this chapter embeds the overview of pension reforms in the broader context of recent developments in the labour market and policies aiming to facilitate reconciliation between work and family life and those supporting the extension of working lives.
