Reihe: The Life Course and Aging

How do women fare in a society which is characterized by a set of institutions that promote income stability over the life course and thereby maintain and even amplify status differences? Using a recently issued public use file of social security records with longitudinal earnings data of well over half a million persons, this book describes gender inequality in earnings and labor market participation in Germany between 1975 and 1995. Results from a life course analysis are contrasted with cross-sectional trends and a traditional life cycle model to show that the answer depends in part on the data and methods used to explore it.
