research

In her research, Jutta Allmendinger deals primarily with the question of how people's life courses are shaped by institutions such as education, the labor market , but also the welfare state . She is particularly interested in studying life courses with regard to the transition from education to the labor market and the interdependence of the life courses of women and men. Other important research areas are the unequal treatment of the sexes in the world of work, especially in questions of work organization. In 1999, Jutta Allmendinger introduced the concept of educational poverty into the heavily economic debate on labor market policy in Germany. She is one of those education experts calling for the elimination of tasks that need to be done at home. However, no plea against tasks to be solved independently on the part of the students within the school itself can be inferred from this. Jutta Allmendinger was the lead scientist of the collaborative study “The Legacy - The World We Want to Experience”, the results of which were presented in spring 2016. The representative study examined which values ​​are important to people in Germany and what they want to pass on to future generations.
