Who Opts Out? The Customisation of Marriage in the German Matrimonial Property Regime.

Unlabelled: This study examines the prevalence of marital contracts across marriage cohorts (1990-2019) in Germany. We further investigate the characteristics of spouses who signed a marital contract. Using cross-sectional data from the German Family Panel (pairfam, 2018/19), we employ complementary log-log and multinomial logistic regression models to predict the prevalence and the type of marital contracts.

Gendered employment trajectories and individual wealth at older ages in Eastern and Western Germany.

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.
