„Das #Arbeitszeitvolumen hat 2023 einen Rekordwert erreicht, und die Erwerbsbeteiligung der Frauen liegt über dem EU-Durchschnitt“, betont Yvonne Lott von unserem @wsiinstitut.bsky.social. „Da kann man insgesamt nicht schlussfolgern, in Deutschland würde zu wenig gearbeitet.“ ☝️

My first PhD article has been published! 🔎 It examines how the relationship between flexible working time arrangements and self-reported work-to-life and life-to-work conflict is moderated by an (un)equal domestic labor distribution within heterosexual couples.

🧵1/8 In our new #OA article, we studied the drivers of ethnic school segregation. Research on segregation often points to parental preferences, but what if it's not just about what parents want, but also what options they actually have? 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/esr/jcaf027
