We just spent 6 months to add 1 figure to this paper. Some people said, "Couples aren't prioritizing men's careers. Men just have better earnings opportunities when moving."
Earnings effects of moves for couples on the left, singles on the right. Negligible gap between single men and women.

Nutzung digitaler Arbeitsmittel: Wodurch fühlen sich Gig-Worker bei Lieferdiensten häufig überwacht? 88 Prozent fühlen sich durch die Kontrolle des Arbeitstempos überwacht, 76 Prozent durch die Verfolgung des Standorts. Durch die Kontrolle der Aufgabenerfüllung fühlen sich 69 Prozent überwacht, durch automatische Arbeitsanweisungen fühlen sich 32 Prozent der Befragten überwacht. 31 Prozent fühlen sich zudem durch den öffentlichen Vergleich mit Kolleginnen und Kollegen überwacht.
🕵️ Every step you take, every move you make, Lieferdienst is watching you?
Fast jeder zweite Gig-Worker bei App-basierten Lieferdiensten fühlt sich bei der Arbeit überwacht.

I didn’t mean to single out PIs, I totally understand that salaries and conditions are often outside their control. My gripe is really with the broader system that makes these offers possible and a real option for applicants.

💯 Just saw some offers like “fully funded position with 20–30k € salary in a European capital with a brutal housing market.” I get that this isn’t (only) the PI’s fault - but honestly, that’s more of a trap than a job.

Graphic showing level models for weekly hours worked by union type, labor market participation, and gender - based on data from ECHP 1994–2001.
“We explore how transitions from cohabitation to marriage affected working time and income in Europe in the 1990s, as cohabitation was emerging. We find a widening gender gap since women worked less after marrying, even if cohabiting before.”

Die Grafik zeigt die Entwicklung der Teilzeitquote Erwerbstätiger von 2015 bis 2025 in Prozent. 2015 lag die Teilzeitquote bei rund 37,7 Prozent. Im 2. Quartal 2025 liegt die Teilzeitquote erstmals über 40 Prozent.
Die #Teilzeitquote erreicht mit 40,1 Prozent einen Rekordwert. Die Zahl der Teilzeitbeschäftigten stieg im 2.Quartal 2025 um 1,3 Prozent. „In den 90ern war Teilzeit noch die Ausnahme, heute ist sie mit 17 Millionen Beschäftigten Normalität“, so IAB-Ökonom Enzo Weber. ➡️ doku.iab.de/arbeitsmarkt...
