abstract: 'Thanks to the male breadwinner model with wages sufficient to support a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
family, working-class families used to be financially secure. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transformation towards the adult worker model (AWM) saw an accumulation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of adverse employment characteristics-especially among manual and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
non-manual routine occupations-and a rise in poverty risks. However,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
there is a lack of research that combines these strands. I ask to what
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
extent male Western German workers and their partners'' ability to secure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour earnings that support a family has changed, and to what degree
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this was hampered by various adverse employment characteristics.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Focusing on service and production workers with cohabiting partners, I
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyse whether their individual and combined labour income is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sufficient to support a family. Performing descriptive trend analysis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and linear probability models with German Socio-Economic Panel data for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1985-2013, I compare class effects of four periods. I find that since
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the end of the 1990s, male service and production workers increasingly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
struggle to secure a family income-mainly driven by low wages and low
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work intensity, while partners'' labour market participation has gained
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relevance. The transformation towards the AWM coincided with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
devaluation of the most privileged group among workers and thus the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working class as a whole.'
