Big milestone - my first citation! 🎉
The paper shows how economic deprivation (unemployment + financial dissatisfaction) increases risk of #IPV in Germany. Good to see we are advancing this important research in Germany but we need more and better data to do more than just scratch the surface

🚨 New paper out! 🚨
We use Eurobarometer data to explore how strongly people across the EU reject the “no means yes” rape myth.
Gender gaps persist, but shrink with higher gender equality and “only yes means yes” laws.

👉🏼 Higher HH income reduces stress and conflict in partnerships
👉🏼 Economic dependence traps women longer in unsafe relationships—and violent dynamics tend to build up over time

Eine erwachsene Person hält die Hand eines kleinen Kindes. Die Überschrift lautet: „Mehr Unterstützung für Alleinerziehende!“. Lisa Paus wird unten links im Bild erwähnt.
Text auf blauem Hintergrund: „In dieser Legislatur gibt es viel für Familien. Alleinerziehende profitieren davon besonders: Verbesserung der Kitas; Erhöhung von Kinderzuschlag, Kindergeld und Unterhaltsvorschuss; steuerliche Entlastungen.“ Lisa Paus wird unten links im Bild erwähnt.
Text auf blauem Hintergrund: „Wir wollen Alleinerziehende besser unterstützen, z. B. mit: Steuergutschriften, um niedrige Einkommen zu entlasten; 30 Tage Kinderkrankengeld; Kindergeld nur noch zur Hälfte auf den Unterhaltsvorschuss anrechnen.“ Lisa Paus wird unten links im Bild erwähnt.
Text auf blauem Hintergrund: „Wir wollen Alleinerziehende besser unterstützen, z. B. mit: Anspruch auf Beratung und Qualifizierung für den Arbeitsmarkt; einer Neuberechnung des soziokulturellen Existenzminimums für Kinder.“ Lisa Paus wird unten links im Bild erwähnt.
Viele #Alleinerziehende stemmen #Kinderbetreuung, Job und Haushalt – und kommen finanziell kaum über die Runden. Das zeigt auch der aktuelle #Familienbericht. Alleinerziehende treffen auf steuerliche, strukturelle und soziale Rahmenbedingungen, die für sie nicht passen.

Umweltzonen verbessern nicht nur die Luftqualität, sondern wirken sich auch positiv auf die mentale Gesundheit und den Bildungserfolg der Anwohner*innen aus. Dieser Zusammenhang wurde erstmals in einer von DIW-Forscherin Laura Schmitz mitverfassten Studie belegt: www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c.... (1/4)
