abstract: 'This study examines the association between employment trajectories and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
retired men''s and women''s individual wealth at older ages in the two
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distinct welfare state contexts of Eastern and Western Germany. Because
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the increasing re-marketization of retirement provisions, wealth is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
becoming increasingly important for retirees'' economic well-being. Using
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (2002, 2007, 2012 and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017), we conduct sequence and cluster analyses to identify groups of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
typical employment trajectories of men and women in Eastern and Western
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Germany. For men, we find that continuous full-time employment is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
positively associated with net wealth at older ages, whereas early
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
retirement and long-term unemployment are negatively associated with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wealth. These associations are similar for housing and non-housing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wealth in both contexts. For women in Western Germany, a low labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market participation is associated with higher levels of housing wealth
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and lower levels of non-housing wealth compared with female full-time
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employees. The results point to gendered wealth accumulation due to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in men''s and women''s labour market participation in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender-unequal welfare state contexts. The associations between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment and wealth are slightly weaker in Eastern Germany, indicating
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that the socialist regime of the GDR restricted the ability to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accumulate wealth.'
