1. Erwerbsverhalten: Babyboomer sind im Alter von 50 bis 59 Jahren zu deutlich höheren Anteilen erwerbstätig als es Angehörige der früher geborenen Nachkriegskohorte in diesem Alter waren. Insbesondere die Frauen der Babyboomer-Kohorte sind häufiger erwerbstätig als die Frauen der Nachkriegskohorte. Deutliche Ost-West- Unterschiede bei den Babyboomern sind in der Erwerbsbeteiligung (Männer) und im Arbeitszeitvolumen (Frauen) zu finden. 2. Ehrenamtliches Engagement: Babyboomer sind im Alter von 50 bis 59 Jahren zu deutlich höheren Anteilen ehrenamtlich engagiert als es die früher geborenen Nachkriegsjahrgänge in diesem Alter waren. In Westdeutschland üben Babyboomer anteilig deutlich häufiger ein Ehrenamt aus als in Ostdeutschland. 3. Pflegeaufgaben: Babyboomer übernehmen im Alter von 50 bis 59 Jahren genauso häufig Pflegeaufgaben wie dies Personen aus den Nachkriegsjahrgängen im selben Alter getan haben. Frauen beider Kohorten übernehmen deutlich häufiger Pflegeaufgaben als Männer. 4. Materielle Lage: Im Alter von 50 bis 59 Jahren unterscheidet sich die materielle Lage der Babyboomer nur geringfügig von jener der Nachkriegskohorte. Unter den Babyboomern befinden sich Ostdeutsche in einer schlechteren materiellen Lage als Westdeutsche.

[Background:] In-work poverty, a phenomenon that engenders social exclusion, is exceptionally high in the United States. The literature on in-work poverty focuses on occupational polarization, human capital, demographic characteristics, and welfare generosity. However, we have no knowledge on the effects of family demographic processes on in-work poverty across individuals' life courses. [Objective:] We estimate the risk of in-work poverty in the United States over the life course as a function of family demographic processes, namely leaving the parental home, union formation and dissolution, and the transition to parenthood. [Methods:] We use data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) and fixed effects regression models with interactions between age and each family demographic process to estimate age-specific associations between these processes and the probability of in-work poverty. [Results:] In-work poverty is a common phenomenon across the life courses of our study cohort: 20% of individuals are at risk of in-work poverty at every age. However, the risk generally decreases for men and increases for women across the life course. Leaving the parental home, entering parenthood, and separation increase, while marriage decreases the risk of in-work poverty. While the associations between marital statuses and in-work poverty are stable over the life course, the associations between parental home leaving and fertility with in-work poverty vary by age. [Contribution:] Our findings demonstrate the importance of family demographic processes over and above traditional stratification factors for the risk of in-work poverty. Associations between family demographic processes and in-work poverty estimated for all age groups may be grossly underestimated.

'Am I Less British?' focuses on the children of refugees and immigrants in North London, whose parents migrated from Turkey.

Providing a rich ethnography of the lives of the children, the book studies their sense of identity, belonging and their transnational experiences. It aims to understand how the children position themselves within a range of locations (London, North London and Turkey), where they face class hierarchy, racism and discrimination, and explores how they think about their sense of belonging within the contemporary political context in Britain and Turkey. De-identifying themselves from national identities and holding onto the oppressed identities appear as new forms of resistance in response to racism and exclusion.

The experiences of the young people reflect the complexity of their lives in changing political and social circumstances across the borders of nation-states, and the importance of other categories of identity, including local identities. Overall, the book argues that the intersections of local, national and transnational approaches, the political context through which the lives of young people are framed, and their sophisticated engagement with ideas of race, class, ethnicity and gender, are crucial in understanding their identity formation.

Praise for 'Am I Less British?'

'This is a nuanced and deeply researched study of the changing meaning of identity, citizenship and belonging in today's Britain. Drawing on her research in London among the children of Turkish migrants and Kurdish refugees, Şimşek makes an important intervention in the conversations on Britishness that are helping to shape our society.'

John Solomos, University of Warwick

"Am I Less British?" is a beautifully crafted ethnography of young Londoners whose parents are Kurdish and Turkish. Their voices sing out from its pages and question what it means to be British and the exclusions that block an equal access to belonging and full citizenship. A brilliant, stunning and urgent analysis of young multicultural lives.'

Les Back, University of Glasgow

'This is a wonderful addition to our understanding of conviviality in a postcolonial city. Here we learn from new generations of Londoners as they contend with what it means to feel at home, in any place, at any time.'

Vron Ware, author of Who Cares about Britishness? (2007)

Aktuell sind über 50 Millionen Menschen weltweit dazu gezwungen, ihre Heimat zu verlassen, um sich und ihre Angehörigen in Sicherheit zu bringen. Mit der Erhöhung der Geflüchtetenzahlen diversifizieren sich die Fluchtmotive. Zu den altbekannten Gründen wie (Bürger-)Krieg, politische Verfolgung und Vertreibung kommen seit ein paar Jahren auch Fluchtmotive wie Klimawandel, Umweltzerstörung, Naturkatastrophen sowie die zunehmende Armut, oft gepaart mit Hungerkatastrophen, hinzu. Im Zuge der Globalisierung erlangte ein Teil der Welt, unser Teil, unvorstellbaren Wohlstand. Die Globalisierung kehrt sich aktuell gewissermaßen um: Auf einmal kommt der andere, ärmere Teil der Welt zu uns, auch da es bei uns friedlich ist. Diese Entwicklungen machen es immer schwieriger, klar und eindeutig von legitimen Fluchtgründen zu sprechen und welche Fluchtmotive mehr oder weniger Berechtigung haben als andere. Die stark steigenden Zahlen derjenigen, die von ihrem Grundrecht auf Asyl Gebrauch machen (möchten) und zum Teil lebensgefährliche Überfahrten über das Mittelmeer auf sich nehmen, fordern die bisherigen Strukturen und Verfahren heraus. Da viele Menschen die Passage mit dem Leben bezahlen oder irgendwo in Europa unter den unwürdigsten Bedingungen leben sind damit auch moralische Fragen verbunden. Schon seit einigen Monaten hört man in Politik, Öffentlichkeit und Medien kaum mehr etwas davon, dass unsere Werte universell, Menschenrechte unteilbar, das Grundgesetz unmittelbar geltendes Recht und die Würde des Menschen unantastbar seien - zumindest im aktuellen Kontext von Vertreibung, Flucht und Asyl. Hierzulande gibt es Vorbehalte und Ängste, die Gesellschaft könnte durch die Aufnahme der vielen Schutzsuchenden überfordert sein - an den radikalisierten Überzeugungen innerhalb der deutschen Gesellschaft hat sich bereits das Journal 4/2015 abgearbeitet. Doch zugleich gibt es aktuell viele zivilgesellschaftliche Initiativen, die sich für die Unterstützung von Geflüchteten einsetzen. Boris Brokmeier ist Leiter der Ländlichen Heimvolkshochschule Mariaspring e.V. in Bovenden-Eddigehausen.

"This work examines the creation of an East Asian cultural sphere by the Japanese imperial project in the first half of the twentieth century. It seeks to re-read the "Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere" not as a mere political and ideological concept but as the potential site of a vibrant and productive space that accommodated transcultural interaction and transformation. By reorienting the focus of (post)colonial studies from the macro-narrative of political economy, military institutions, and socio-political dynamics, it uncovers a cultural and personal understanding of life within the Japanese imperial enterprise. To engage with empire on a personal level, one must ask: What made ordinary citizens participate in the colonial enterprise? What was the lure of empire? How did individuals not directly invested in the enterprise become engaged with the idea? Explanations offered heretofore emphasize the potency of the institutional or ideological apparatus. Faye Kleeman asserts, however, that desire and pleasure may be better barometers for measuring popular sentiment in the empire--what Raymond Williams refers to as the "structure of feeling" that accompanied modern Japan's expansionism. This particular historical moment disseminated common cultural perceptions and values (whether voluntarily accepted or forcibly inculcated). Mediated by a shared aspiration for modernity, a connectedness fostered by new media, and a mobility that encouraged travel within the empire, an East Asian contact zone was shared by a generation and served as the proto-environment that presaged the cultural and media convergences currently taking place in twenty-first-century Northeast Asia. The negative impact of Japanese imperialism on both nations and societies has been amply demonstrated and cannot be denied, but In Transit focuses on the opportunities and unique experiences it afforded a number of extraordinary individuals to provide a fuller picture of Japanese colonial culture. By observing the empire--from Tokyo to remote Mongolia and colonial Taiwan, from the turn of the twentieth century to the postwar era--through the diverse perspectives of gender, the arts, and popular culture, it explores an area of colonial experience that straddles the public and the private, the national and the personal, thereby revealing a new aspect of the colonial condition and its postcolonial implications."--Publisher's description
