"Der Beitrag analysiert die Wirkungen des 2007 eingeführten deutschen Elterngelds auf das Haushaltseinkommen und die Fertilität. Bei der Analyse werden SOEP- und Mikrozensus-Daten kombiniert, um sowohl ereignisanalytische Techniken anzuwenden (SOEP), als auch differenzielle Analysen basierend auf hohen Fallzahlen vorzunehmen (Mikrozensus). Es wird gezeigt, dass sich im Durchschnitt das Einkommen von Familien mit Babys etwas erhöht hat, wobei sich dahinter ein erheblicher Anstieg bei Akademikereltern verbirgt. Mit diesen Einkommensbefunden korrespondieren die Fertilitätsergebnisse: Bei den multivariaten Analysen zum Übergang zum zweiten Kind zeigt sich für die Gesamtbevölkerung kein Reformeffekt. Allerdings verbergen sich hinter der Gesamtbetrachtung gruppenspezifische Effekte. Die Mikrozensus-Analysen zeigen, dass die altersspezifischen Fertilitätsraten bei 35- bis 44-jährigen Akademikerinnen angestiegen sind, auch in der Ereignisanalyse zeigt sich ein signifikanter Interaktionseffekt für die Elterngeldreform und dieses Alter. Beides deutet darauf hin, dass das Elterngeld den Recuperationeffekt - das Nachholen aufgeschobener Geburten - von hochqualifizierten Frauen ab Mitte 30 verstärkt." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"This article analyses the effects of the German parental leave benefit, which was introduced in 2007, on household income and fertility. The analysis combines SOEP and German Micro Census data in order to apply techniques based on event history analysis (SOEP) as well as differential analyses based on a high number of cases (Micro Census). It is argued that on average, the income situation of families with babies has slightly improved, but this is due to a considerable raise for highly-educated parents. The results for fertility correspond to these income effects: The multivariate analyses for the transition to the second child show no reform effect regarding the total population. However, there are interesting group-specific effects. Age-specific fertility rates, which are based on Micro Census data, are increasing among 35- to 44-year-old highly-educated women. In addition, the event history analysis shows a significant effect for the interaction of reform and this age group. Both suggest that the parental leave benefit has an effect on recuperation among highly-educated women who are at least in their mid-thirties." (author's abstract)... view less
