One widely studied determinant of political trust is income inequality. While the empirical finding that societies with lower levels of income inequality have higher levels of trust is well established, the exact ways in which income inequality affects political trust remain unclear. Past research has shown that individuals oftentimes have biased perceptions of inequality. Considering potentially biased inequality perceptions, I argue that individuals compare their perceptions of inequality to their preference for inequality. If they identify a gap between what they perceive and what they prefer (= fairness gap), they consider their attitudes towards inequality unrepresented. This, in turn, reduces trust in political institutions. Using three waves of the ESS and the ISSP in a cross-country perspective, I find that (1) perceiving a larger fairness gap is associated with lower levels of political trust; (2) the fairness gap mediates the link between actual inequality and political trust; and (3) disaggregating the fairness gap measure, political trust is more strongly linked to variation in inequality perceptions than to variation in inequality preferences. This indicates that inequality perceptions are an important factor shaping trust into political institutions.}, language = {en} } @book{JansenVogd2022, author = {Jansen, Till and Vogd, Werner}, title = {Kontexturanalyse}, publisher = {Springer VS}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-35771-9}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-658-35772-6}, pages = {X, 208}, year = {2022}, abstract = {In den letzten 20 Jahren hat sich in der qualitativen und rekonstruktiven Sozialforschung vermehrt die Frage gestellt, wie sich polyphone, polykontexturale und in ihren Sinnbez{\"u}gen mehrdeutige Verh{\"a}ltnisse erforschen lassen.

Our article contributes to broaden the present state of research by not only examining the structure of the middle class whilst focusing on individual attributes, but by especially taking the role of gender-specific occupational characteristics and country-specific conditions into account. Based on the EU-SILC data 2020 for 17 countries, we analyze which factors affect the structure of the middle income class on the individual, on the occupational and country level. Our findings show that occupational attributes (e.g. part-time rate) prove to be highly relevant in this realm. Moreover, significant gender differences can be observed: women who work in an occupation which is mainly performed by women bear a higher risk of belonging to the lower income class as compared to men.}, language = {en} } @misc{FritschBergerMader2022, author = {Fritsch, Nina-Sophie and Berger, Christian and Mader, Katharina}, title = {Care work 4.0}, publisher = {Kammer f{\"u}r Arbeiter und Angestellte f{\"u}r Wien}, address = {Wien}, doi = {10.31235/osf.io/jzxt4}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Care-Berufe ver{\"a}ndern sich durch demographische, technologische und wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen.

The results suggest the rise of cohabiting mothers and the decline of married and divorced mothers among women born from 1980 to 1984. Black women born from 1980 to 1984 were more likely to experience single/childless and single/parent status compared with Black women born from 1957 to 1965. Although with some visible postponement in the recent cohort, white women in both cohorts were more likely to experience married/parent status than other race groups. The decline in married/parent status across the two generations was sharpest among Hispanic women.
