Application Barriers and the Socioeconomic Gap in Child Care Enrollment.

Hermes, H., Lergetporer, P., Peter, F., & Wiederhold, S. (2025).
Application Barriers and the Socioeconomic Gap in Child Care Enrollment. Journal of the European Economic Association, 23(3), 1133-1172. https://doi.org/10.1093/jeea/jvae054
Abstract

Why are children with lower socioeconomic status (SES) substantially less likely to be enrolled in child care? We study whether barriers in the application process work against lower-SES children — the group known to benefit strongest from child care enrollment. In an RCT in Germany with highly subsidized child care (N = 607), we offer treated families information and personal assistance for applications. We find substantial, equity-enhancing effects of the treatment, closing half of the large SES gap in child care enrollment. Increased enrollment for lower-SES families is likely driven by altered application knowledge and behavior. We discuss scalability of our intervention and derive policy implications for the design of universal child..

Qualifizierungsmerkmale von Habilitation und Tenure-Track Juniorprofessur im Vergleich.

Qualifizierungsmerkmale von Habilitation und Tenure-Track Juniorprofessur im Vergleich. Zeitschrift für Hochschulentwicklung, 20(2), 33-52. https://doi.org/10.21240/zfhe/20-2/03
Abstract

The German academic system faces the challenge of reconciling traditional and mod-ern qualification paths to a professorship. The historically established habilitation and the newly introduced tenure-track junior professorship play a central role in the academic career system but differ significantly in structure and requirements. This article contrasts the two career paths and highlights the factors that restrict their com-parability. The findings highlight the need for a review and harmonization of the existing regulations.

Education bias in probability-based surveys in Germany: evidence and possible solutions.

Education bias in probability-based surveys in Germany: evidence and possible solutions. International Journal of Social Research Methodology. https://doi.org/10.1080/13645579.2025.2508889, (Abgerufen am: 18.06.2025).
Abstract

This paper outlines two studies on education bias in German probability-based surveys. Study 1 reviews data from 67 surveys across 19 survey programs conducted in Germany from 2000 to 2023. We found a consistent underrepresentation of individuals with a low level of formal education. We also found that the transition to self-administered modes due to rising survey costs may exacerbate this bias in the future. In study 2, we use the results of a workshop with experts on probability-based surveys, to discuss various strategies to deal with this bias, including increased face-to-face contacts and incentives, while emphasizing the need for research on adapting survey designs.

Abstract

This systematic literature review sheds light on social inequalities in students’ access to and experiences of international student mobility (ISM) in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Following a scoping approach based on the 2020 PRISMA guidelines, it synthesises 48 empirical studies published in the most intense phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, namely between January 2020 and June 2022.
