Gender data report

The gender data report. Annotated data report on equality between women and men in the Federal Republic of Germany was published on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) in 2005. It is an annotated compilation of statistical data on the living situation of men and women in Germany in comparison.

It was published by Waltraud Cornelißen and drawn up by the German Youth Institute (DJI) in cooperation with the Federal Statistical Office . According to the BMFSFJ, the content of the report is as follows:

“For the first time in the Federal Republic of Germany, facts on the social situation and lifestyle of women and men are compiled, compared, evaluated and interpreted in a data report on equality between women and men . The data report shows that in many areas the life situations and participation opportunities of women and men have continued to converge in recent years. "

The gender data report lists a large amount of data on the living situation of women and men in the Federal Republic of Germany, for example on education, employment, family and lifestyles, work-life balance, political participation, social security, health, disability and violence.

According to the report, the employment rate for women increased slightly in 2004 to 58.4% compared to 1991 (57%), whereas the male employment rate fell noticeably during this period (70.1% in 2004 after 78.4% in 1991).

Although the employment rate for women is increasing, the volume of work done is falling at the same time. In contrast to the simple employment rate, the female full-time equivalent employment rate “fell slightly from 1992 (48%) to 2003 (46%). In the same period, this rate for men decreased from 76 percent to 69 percent ”.

The labor force participation of childless women is well developed in an OECD comparison, whereas single mothers and those with several children are significantly less involved in working life. Mothers with children are less integrated into the labor market. Mothers in the East German federal states are more often employed than in West Germany, they also go back to full-time work earlier after giving birth. Single women are at particular risk of poverty; divorced women are, on average, economically worse off than single women. This also applies to the eastern German states.

Men still do significantly more paid professional work and women significantly more unpaid (family) work. He confirmed that family work is primarily done by women, even when both partners are employed, and that women's career opportunities are fragile.

In the period from 1988 to 2003 there was an increase in violent crimes by both men and women. The proportion of women in violent crime increased. Most violent crimes affect women as victims less than men.

Physical violence in heterosexual couple relationships is practiced to the same extent by men and women, but severe violence in couple relationships is more often directed against women. Sexual violence is predominantly carried out by men (and boys) against women, girls and boys; Men as victims are rare here.

Boys are much more affected by physical violence in childhood and adolescence than girls, especially in schools and among their peers.

Women feel safer in private spaces, although this is where most of the violence against women takes place. Men, on the other hand, are hardly afraid in public, although that is where they are most affected by violence.

Update

The BMFSFJ commissioned the German Youth Institute to update parts of the data report from 2006 to 2007, but the updated version was not approved by the BMFSFJ.
