Einkommen von Frauen sinken nach Heirat um 20 Prozent
Wenn Frauen heiraten, sinkt ihr Arbeitseinkommen im Schnitt um 20 Prozent. Das bestätigt eine neue Studie. Als Gründe nennen die Forscher falsche Anreize im Steuersystem und alte Rollenbilder.

„Wissenschaft und Politik müssen die Angriffe auf die Geschlechterforschung ernst nehmen“
Die Soziologin Birgitt Riegraf warnt davor, Angriffe auf die Gender Studies herunterzuspielen. Sie seien ein „Testfall“ für die Demokratie.

Mehr als die Hälfte aller erwerbstätigen Frauen in Deutschland haben keine langfristige Existenzsicherung. Die ökonomische Abhängigkeit von Müttern minderjähriger Kinder ist mit 70% noch höher.
Gleichberechtigung: Jede zweite erwerbstätige Frau kann die eigene Existenz nicht sichern
Die Hälfte der Frauen kann laut einer Studie des DGB langfristig nicht allein von ihrem Einkommen überleben. Grund ist auch die ungleiche Rollenverteilung bei Paaren.
