Digital Event: Corona and Social Inequality
IKG and SOEPScienceCampus Research class cordially invites to a digital event on Corona and Social Inequality. The research class discusses data, methods and results.
Dr. Andreas Hövermann (Hans-Böckler-Foundation) and Dr. Simon Kühne (Bielefeld University) provide two inputs to the discussion. They will present novel data sources for research on the social and political consequences of the pandemic in Germany as well as selected findings on the effects on social inequality; title and abstract below.
Social Inequality in the Coronavirus Pandemic - Results from the German SOEP-CoV Study by Simon Kühne (Bielefeld University)
Few singular events in the past decades have affected the lives of the general population so rapidly but also comprehensively than the spread of Sars-CoV-2. Urgent questions arise as to the medical and health impacts of COVID-19; the social, psychological, economic, and political factors that play a role in its spread; and the consequences thereof. We argue that longitudinal household survey data is needed to study the acute, medium-term, and long-term socio-economic factors in and consequences of the spread of the coronavirus. The German SOEP-CoV study, a collaboration between Bielefeld University and the Socio-Economic Panels Study (SOEP) at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin), aims at providing such a research data infrastructure. In this presentation, we will discuss the survey design of the SOEP-CoV study. Moreover, we will present selected research results on social inequality in the coronavirus pandemic based on our first wave survey data collected April through June 2020.
Social Inequality during the COVID-19-pandemic in Germany by Andreas Hövermann (Hans-Böckler-Foundation)
We monitored the development of social inequality in Germany with a work-force panel-survey by the Hans-Böckler-Foundation (N = 6,100 - 7,600 in three waves: April, June, November '20). We mainly focused on the issue of income loss and analyzed its distribution among the working force. The results not only show widespread income losses, yet particularly among groups that were already disadvantaged before the pandemic indicating a further rise in future income inequality. Moreover, we looked at gender differences to test for a suggested retraditionalization of female roles during the pandemic and found mixed results.
Date: Wednesday, Feb. 3rd, 2:00 - 3:30 pm (st).
