abstract: 'Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we find that

  cohabitation accelerates re-employment, whereas marriage increases the

  prospect of re-employment only for men. More specifically, the partner''s

  labor market resources facilitate re-employment. Although partner income

  has no effect in absolute terms, unemployed men and women who were

  formerly minor earners refrain from re-entering paid work. This pattern

  is more pronounced among low- and medium-income couples than among

  high-income families. Unemployment thus strengthens patterns of

  inequality both between and within couples.'
