Inhalt
The economic stability of families, the reconciliation of work and family or early education for young children are only some of the defined targets of German Family policy. These policies include a large number of marriage and family related benefits and regulations that aim at supporting families in Germany. Thereby, current family policies such as parental leave and childcare policies target particularly the length of family related employment interruptions, parental employment as well as formal childcare take-up or the division of care work among men and women. But how does each single policy influence the participation in paid and care work of mothers and fathers? And how do mechanisms vary according to parental characteristics, such as household income or individual educational attainment?

The seminar offers an introduction to family policy in Germany. By the end of the course, students will be familiar with recent developments in policy-making and observed consequences for parental employment in Germany. Throughout the course, we will use examples of family policy evaluations, such as childcare and parental leave reforms, to discuss theoretical mechanisms as well as methodological and estimation strategies of quantitative policy evaluations of the respective policy interventions. Therefore, prior knowledge of statistics up to the level of ordinary least squares regression (OLS) is assumed.
