Im Blickpunkt dieses Beitrages stehen junge Menschen, die sich frühzeitig gegen eigene Kinder entscheiden, aber dennoch heiraten. Für diese Gruppe der gewollt kinderlosen Ehepaare werden vier Fragen diskutiert: 1. Wann wird die Entscheidung gegen Elternschaft getroffen? 2. Welche Motive führen zur Entscheidung für Kinderlosigkeit? 3. Worin unterscheiden sich gewollt Kinderlose von Familienorientierten? 4. Welche Heiratsmotive haben Menschen, die sich gegen Kinder entscheiden? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten werden die Daten aus drei Erhebungen des Bamberger Ehepaar-Panels analysiert. (ICE2)
Die Bevölkerung in Deutschland ist im internationalen Vergleich eine der ältesten der Welt. Ein Fünftel der Gesamtbevölkerung, rund 18 Millionen Menschen, sind zwischen 60 und 80 Jahre alt. Was bedeutet diese Entwicklung für die älteren Menschen und welche politischen Herausforderungen ergeben sind daraus?
Welche kulturellen Leitvorstellungen zum Familienleben existieren in Deutschland? Was gilt als "normal", als wünschenswert und als abweichend und wie beeinflussen diese Vorstellungen die Familiengründung und das Familienleben? Diese Fragen stehen im Fokus der Beiträge, die in diesem Band versammelt sind und in denen die Vielfalt und Widersprüchlichkeit der Familienleitbilder in Deutschland identifiziert werden. Damit leistet dieses Buch einen wichtigen Erklärungsbeitrag zum kulturellen Verständnis von demografischen Prozessen. Aus den Ergebnissen der Studie werden Empfehlungen für die künftige Forschung und für die Familienpolitik abgeleitet, um den Vorstellungen junger Menschen in Deutschland besser gerecht werden zu können

Which cultural concepts of family life exist in Germany? What is considered "normal", "desirable", and "deviant" and how do these ideas influence family formation and family life? These questions are the focus of the contributions collected in this volume, in which the diversity and contradictoriness of family models in Germany are identified. This book thus makes an important contribution to explaining the cultural understanding of demographic processes. Recommendations for future research and family policy are derived from the results of the study in order to better meet the needs of young people in Germany.

Deutschland gehört zu den wichtigsten Einwanderungsländern weltweit. Kulturelle Vielfalt prägt die Gesellschaft mehr denn je, doch in der Bundesverwaltung sind Eingewanderte und ihre Nachkommen nur in geringem Maße repräsentiert. Welche Ursachen stehen einer weiteren Öffnung entgegen? Welche Folgen hat die zunehmende kulturelle Diversität für die Leistungsfähigkeit der öffentlichen Verwaltung? Die groß angelegte Studie "Diversität und Chancengleichheit Survey" bietet erstmals fundierte Ergebnisse zu diesen Fragen.

Based on the German case, this open access book highlights the increasing flows of migration and the internationalisation of individual life courses. It analyses the experiences of migration across four central domains - employment and income, partners and families, health and wellbeing, as well as friends and social participation - which potentially have far-reaching consequences for social inequalities and life chances. The book showcases results from an innovative probability sample that is representative of German emigrants who recently moved abroad and remigrants who recently returned from abroad and compares their international experiences with the sedentary population in Germany. Stays abroad, whether temporary or permanently, have become the new normal for increasing numbers of people from highly developed welfare states. Unnoticed from mainstream migration studies, these countries are today not only major immigration countries but also important sources of international mobility. By providing an empirically founded prism of the global lives of German migrants, this book is a valuable resource for students and researchers of migration, social inequality, and the life course and provides practitioners with insights into these regularly overlooked aspects of international migration.
Despite increasing research, the diversity of role transitions and the interplay between productive roles among older adults are still not adequately understood. This also applies to labor force participation and family care at the transition to retirement. In order to narrow this research gap, this article examines the diversity of transitions/continuities between employment and informal family care among older adults in Germany. Based on role theory and disengagement approach, a typology of transitions/continuities between employment and informal family care was created using data from three waves of the study "Transitions and Old Age Potential" (TOP) over a period of six years (2013-2019). Transitions/continuities between labor market participation and family roles can be described empirically in terms of four main types: role substitution, role expansion, role extension, and dis-/nonengagement. These can be broken down further into subtypes, which reveals the diversity of role transitions/continuities among older adults and suggests different causal relationships. Continuity and fluctuation are found to coexist, with strong evidence for either episodic or gradual/fluid patterns of role transitions. Time commitment in productive roles has a noticeable influence on transition/continuity types. However, the impact of sociodemographic, occupational and personal predictors suggests that labor market-related inequalities and subjective preferences are also influencing the transitions between employment and family care. The findings are innovative in terms of a theory-based typology of role transitions/continuities that offers new insights into the diversity of role transitions and their determinants among older adults not only in Germany, but also in other countries with aging populations.
