Inhalt: Ursula Offenberger thematisiert in ihrer Monografie die Aushandlung der Installation von Heiztechnologie im familiären Eigenheim als Form der Herstellung von Zuhause und häuslicher Gemütlichkeit im Rahmen der Geschlechterbeziehung. Ihr empirischer Forschungsstil ist an der Grounded-Theory-Methodologie (GTM) sowie der Situationsanalyse ausgerichtet. Es wird mit diesen Mitteln ein dichtes Netz von Handlungs- und Bedeutungsebenen im sozialen Mikro- und Makroradius herausgearbeitet, in dem ein profanes Problem wie das häusliche Heizen verortet ist. In dieser Besprechung werden einige methodologisch-methodische Knackpunkte der Untersuchung kritisch besprochen. Die Autorin findet interessante Lösungen für Darstellungs- und Modellbildungs-Probleme, die für GTM-Studien charakteristisch sind.

Inhalt: In her monograph, Ursula Offenberger addresses the negotiation of heating technology arrangements in a family home as a form of construction of the home and domestic coziness in the context of gender relations. Her empirical research method is aligned with grounded theory methodology (GTM) and situational analysis. She elaborates a complex network of actions and meanings on the social microlevels and macrolevels that are implicated in mundane issues such as domestic heating. This review critically discusses a number of methodological issues arising from the investigation. The author provides interesting solutions to representing and modeling problems characteristic of GTM studies.

Inhalt: This study examines the labor market integration of immigrants and their children in the Netherlands focusing on employment and over- and underqualification. Using data from the first wave of the Netherlands Longitudinal Life-Course Study (NELLS), the analysis shows disadvantages in employment probabilities for men and women from different foreign origin groups compared to the Dutch majority even after accounting for differences in human capital. Ethnic differences in employment probabilities are lower, but still visible, when comparing only respondents who obtained post-secondary education in the Netherlands. Further, first-generation immigrant men from Turkey and Morocco are at higher risk of being overeducated than Dutch majority men whereas this is not the case for second generation men and first- and secondgeneration minority women. Substantial ethnic difference in the likelihood of being undereducated are not prevalent. Having a foreign compared to a Dutch degree is related to lower labor market outcomes, but this negative relation is more pronounced for women than for men. Finally, there is some indication that overeducation is somewhat less common in the public sector than in the private sector, but minorities do not benefit more from this than the Dutch majority.

Inhalt: Across the major immigrant societies of the European Union, EU-15 countries, migrants and minorities still experience economic disadvantage. This failure of economic integration poses significant questions about the utilization of human capital, the management of mobility and the competitiveness of European labour markets (Cameron, 2011; OECD, 2017). Using a variety of datasets, this special issue pushes the debate forward in several ways. We will consider the integration outcomes of both migrants and second generation minority members in comparison to majority members. Labour market outcomes will be considered broadly: the probability of employment but also overqualification will be taken into account. Offering both analysis of single country cases and a cross-national comparison, the special issue will build a comprehensive picture of the factors associated with labour market disadvantage of migrant men and women, and their descendants - particularly, differential returns to foreign qualifications and educational credentials, differences between public and private sectors placements, and where possible the period of the economic crisis will be examined as well.

Inhalt: This article contributes to the literature on the models of immigrants’ labour market incorporation in Western Europe by analysing the employment returns to tertiary education for both natives and immigrants. By using yearly EU-LFS data (2005-2013) for a selection of Western European countries, cross-country differences in the employment returns to tertiary education are analysed separately by immigrant status and gender. In Continental Europe, where immigrant-native employment gaps before the crisis were much larger than in Southern Europe, immigrants are found to benefit more from tertiary education, and their returns are also higher than for natives, while the opposite holds in Southern European countries. The same pattern is found irrespective of gender, but cross-country differences are more pronounced among women. The article also documents that the crisis contributed to a cross-country convergence, although limited to men, in the degree of immigrant employment disadvantage, which increased substantially in Southern Europe while remaining unchanged or slightly declining in all other countries. Nevertheless, although immigrant-native employment gaps grew as high as in Continental Europe, immigrant men in Southern Europe are still found to benefit from lower returns to tertiary education than their native counterparts.

Der Beitrag historisiert die Erziehung zur Konsumentenverantwortung. Zum einen geht es historisch um das Einkaufen als eine moralisierte bürgerliche Praktik. Zum anderen betrifft es die Vernetzungen von Konsum, Moral und Geschlechterpolitik. Kaufen und Kaufen lernen wird historisiert, Einkaufen als Praktik im Feld der Konsummoral abgesteckt und die Prägungen sozialer Konsumkompetenz sichtbar gemacht.

Inhalt: In this research, we have studied the population of street children in Khorram Abad in Iran, in 2015, with the emphasis on the role of economic and legal factors forcing children to work on the streets. The results of this research show that the issue of child labor is the consequence of both global and local matters. These children are the products of the urban society, poverty, and cultural, legal, and local factors. The research method is a survey, and the statistical population is the street children, aged between 7 to 18 living in Khorram Abad, in 2015. The sample population chosen randomly includes 242 people, and the required information was gathered using the questionnaire and interview technique. In Khorram Abad, Lorestan, economic crisis and parents' misdemeanor are the two main factors that force the children to fill their fathers' missing place by working in the streets. But, gender factors such as being a boy, and cultural factors such as belonging to a specific tribe are influential in the howness of this phenomenon. In this article, we have attempted to use native sources for a better understanding of the local situation of the phenomenon, and have proposed a few solutions to alter the current situation.

Inhalt: Der Beitrag argumentiert, dass neoliberale Restrukturierungsprogramme deshalb vorrangig im Care-Sektor intervenieren, weil dieser als wertschöpfungsschwacher Sektor am zentralsten privatwirtschaftliche Profitinteressen tangiert. Professionalisierungsbestrebungen im Care-Sektor erweisen sich deshalb oftmals als stillschweigende Ökonomisierung, weil sie in Absehung dieser Wertschöpfungsschwäche und damit der Eigenlogik der Care-Arbeit (vergeblich) versuchen, Care-Dienstleistungen an die Logik der Güterproduktion anzupassen.

Inhalt: Using data from a survey of Bangladeshi households, this paper constructs an index of women empowerment and explores both the determinants of empowerment of married women and the impacts that empowerment has on various aspects of a woman's life. The findings reveal that female education, her involvement in income generating activities (both formal and informal) and the structure of the household (unit or extended) are important determinants. As regards the impacts of empowerment on the female's life, the paper finds that empowerment affects her food intake and expenditure patterns in quantitative and qualitative terms - it positively impacts women's nutritional status and health care and confers positive impacts on taking family planning measures. Also empowered women’s behavior is less discriminating when it comes to serving food among family members.
