Dieser Beitrag untersucht den bildungsspezifischen Wandel der Erwerbsbeteiligung von Müttern in Westdeutschland. Die theoretischen Überlegungen lassen unterschiedliche Entwicklungstrends für Frauen unterschiedlichen Bildungsniveaus erwarten. Die empirischen Analysen der Scientific-Use-Files der Mikrozensen der Jahre 1976 bis 2004 zeigen einen Anstieg der Anteile Teilzeit und marginal beschäftigter, aber keine größeren Veränderungen in den Anteilen Vollzeit erwerbstätiger Frauen mit Kindern. Insbesondere für weniger qualifizierte Mütter ist ein kontinuierlicher Rückgang ihres Erwerbsarbeitsumfangs festzustellen. Hochschulabsolventinnen mit Kindern, deren Partner ebenfalls einen Hochschulabschluss haben, sind am häufigsten Vollzeit erwerbstätig. Die zunehmende Etablierung eines "Dual-Earner-Modells" der Familie in der wachsenden Gruppe hoch qualifizierter Paare führt zu einer Konzentration von ökonomischen Ressourcen und verstärkter sozialer Ungleichheit zwischen Haushalten und Familien.... view less

This paper examines the development of female and maternal labor market participation in western Germany. We discuss major forces that contribute to a polarization and a convergence of educational differences in female employment behavior. The empirical investigation draws on data from the scientific-use-files of the micro-censuses from the years 1976 to 2004. Even though part-time and marginal employment rates have increased in recent years, no major changes in full-time employment patterns are discernable. Particularly, the least educated mothers show dramatic reductions in their working hours over time. Full-time employment is most common among highly educated mothers who also have highly educated partners. Given that the "dual earner model" establishes itself primarily among highly educated couples, this has major consequences for the accumulation of economic resources.... view less
