In diesem Aufsatz wird das Verh?ltnis zwischen den Begriffen Gelassenheit und
???????, von Heidegger als ?Auseinandersetzung? ?bersetzt und aufgefasst,
untersucht. Der Betrachtung liegt dabei die Frage zu Grunde, ob der sp?te
Heidegger sich mit den Begriffen Gestell und Gelassenheit ?berhaupt noch im
Sinne grundlegender Gestalten der menschlichen Lebensweise auseinandersetzt,
so wie er es in den 30er Jahren tat und behauptete. Weitergehend wird die
Beziehung des Begriffs der Gleichf?rmigkeit, verstanden als eine Folge der
technischen Herrschaft ?ber die Erde, zu C. Schmitts Begriff der
Neutralisierung als eine der Konsequenzen der zunehmenden Technisierung
hergestellt und diskutiert.

This paper aims to develop a conceptual framework for analysing the degree to which public policies support gender equity in paid work and care. Combining the distinction between commodification and decommodification and the distinction between defamilialisation, supported familialism, and familialism by default our study identifies a number of relevant policies, ranging from services, leave entitlements, income support measures, and fiscal instruments to forms of acknowledgement of care work in pension systems. Although our main objective is conceptual, we offer a comparative overview of these policies for all of the EU countries, plus Norway. Thus, we provide a preliminary typology of policy approaches.

The enlargement of the European Union in May 2004 by ten new member states bear increasing challenges in creating social cohesion among its citizens and regions. Social cohesion is understood here in a broad sense as a coalescence of European societies in such a way that living conditions and quality of life of its citizens converge. This paper?s empirical focus is on the two core life domains that are currently taking center stage in EU policy debates: (1) employment and working conditions and (2) economic resources and social exclusion. The analyses show that the 15 former member states are converging in terms of lliving and working conditions and the situation has improved in all of these countries during the 1990s. With the enlargement the situation becomes more diverse in the enlarged EU. In particular the postsocialist countries have to make great efforts to catch up with their EU counterparts. We can identify three emerging clusters of countries that share empirically very similar living standards. The first, wealthy cluster consists of the old northern European member states. The second, intermediary country group contains the most well-off accession countries and the old Mediterranean member countries with a lower living standard. The third, less developed cluster embraces new member states that were former post-communist countries.

Zusammenfassung
Mithilfe der Versicherungskontenstichprobe (VSKT) der Deutschen Rentenversicherung werden Veränderungen der Rentenanwartschaften von Frauen verschiedener Geburtskohorten bis zum Alter von 41 Jahren untersucht. In Westdeutschland steigen trotz Beschäftigungszuwachs die Entgeltpunkte aus Beschäftigung nur unwesentlich und die Ungleichheit zwischen den Kohorten in den Rentenanwartschaften stagniert. In Ostdeutschland führen vor allem sinkende Anwartschaften aus Beschäftigung zu einer wachsenden Ungleichheit innerhalb der 1970 bis 1974 geborenen Frauen.
Abstract: Pension Claims of Women in Different Birth Cohorts: The Impact of Low Income Employment
We use the longitudinal data from records on contributions to the German statutory pension fund in order to analyse whether pension entitlements of women of different birth cohorts up until the age of 41 have changed. Our results show that pension claims in West Germany have stagnated despite the fact that participation in employment has increased from cohort to cohort. We also find that inequality in pension entitlements has remained at a similar level all through the period studied. Female employment participation of women in East Germany is shrinking for a large group of younger women and, as a consequence of this, inequality in pension entitlements is increasing within the youngest cohort.
