BiB.Monitor Wohlbefinden 2024: Regionale Unterschiede in der Lebenszufriedenheit in Deutschland (with C. Katharina Spieß, Sabine Diabaté, Lisa Kriechel, Heiko Rüger, Nico Stawarz, and Mara Barschkett).
We analyse regional differences in life satisfaction in Germany, including economic deprivation and spatial topologies of mobility on the level of municipalities, as well as air quality and green spaces on fine-grained grid cells within metropolises. Using FReDA data matched with geodata on a 1 km2 grid, we describe regional differences in the distributions of life satisfaction, as well as unadjusted and adjusted means, for the German working-age population in 2022.
Geflüchtete Kinder und Jugendliche aus der Ukraine. Ihre Lebenssituation etwa zwei Jahre nach Ankunft (with Ludovica Gambaro, C. Katharina Spieß, and Andreas Ette).
Media: FAZ
We show first representative results on the life situation of Ukrainian school children in Germany about 2 years after their arrival. While more than half report good German skills, their school belonging is lower than that of students in Germany or the Ukraine or previous cohorts of refugees. Their intentions to stay are lower than those of their parents.
