Employment characteristics and partnership formation among lone mothers in Russia

Partnerschaftsbildung alleinerziehender Mütter in Russland: welchen Einfluss haben Berufsmerkmale?

"Armutsraten von alleinerziehenden Müttern in Russland waren in der Zeit nach dem politischen und ökonomischen Umbruch im Jahr 1991 besonders hoch, und Einkommensungleichheiten zwischen Frauen nahmen in dieser Periode ebenfalls zu. Daher ist die Fragestellung in dieser Studie, inwiefern die ökonomische Situation von Alleinerziehenden auch ihre Übergangsraten in neue Partnerschaften beeinflusst hat. Dies kann dazu beitragen, zu verstehen, inwiefern wachsende ökonomische Ungleichheiten sich auch auf andere Bereiche des Lebenslaufs auswirken. Die empirischen Analysen beruhen auf Daten des russischen Generations and Gender Survey (GGS). Es wird der Einfluss des Berufs auf Partnerschaftsbildungsraten von Alleinerziehenden vor und nach 1991 anhand von Übergangratenmodellen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Alleinerziehende, die im Dienstleistungsbereich arbeiteten, sowohl vor wie auch nach 1991 deutlich höhere Partnerschaftsbildungsraten hatten als Alleinerziehende, die in höher entlohnten Berufen arbeiteten, die einen Universitätsabschluss voraussetzten. Allerdings wurden keine bedeutenden Veränderungen im Einfluss des Berufs auf Partnerschaftsbildungsraten nach 1991, im Vergleich zu vor 1991 gefunden." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"Lone mothers' poverty rates in Russia were very high in the period following the transition in 1991, and earnings inequalities between women increased. The aim of this paper is to examine to what extent lone mothers' economic situation may have also influenced their rates of partnership formation. This can add to an understanding of how the influence of growing economic inequalities extends to other areas of the life course as well. The data used is from the Russian Generations and Gender Survey (GGS), and methods of event-history analysis are applied for the empirical investigations. The effect of occupation on partnership formation is compared before and after the transition, as earnings differences between those working in different occupations grew after 1991. The results indicate that lone mothers working in service occupations, in particular, had substantially higher rates of partnership formation than those working in higher-paying professional occupations requiring a university degree, both before and after the transition in 1991. However, no large changes in the effect of occupation on partnership formation are found for the period after 1991 compared to the period before transition." (author's abstract)... view less
