Kindersterblichkeit, Fertilität und warum Schule wichtig ist
Mannheim, 2009
Ist die hohe Kindersterblichkeit in Entwicklungsländern der Grund für die große Anzahl an Geburten? Und wie wirken sich Bildungsinvestitionen auf die Anzahl der Kinder und damit das Bevölkerungswachstum in Entwicklungsländern aus? Diesen Fragen geht Edgar Vogel aus dem Forschungsbereich „Makroökonomische Implikationen einer alternden Gesellschaft" nach.
Labor Market Participation, Home Production and the Demand for Unskilled Labor
Mannheim, 2006
In the course of increasing labor market participation, especially among women, and rising wealth, one observes an increase in outsourcing of home production. Cleaning ladies and house maids, but also restaurants, garages and kindergartens, take over work that has formerly been done by the people themselves. The process creates new jobs for unskilled workers in the service sector. Against this background, Melanie Lührmann and Matthias Weiss have examined the effects of prolonging the number of working hours per week or the impact of increasing labour market participation on the demand for unskilled labor and unemployment.
