Life

Martin Schröder completed a year abroad in the USA as well as his community service in Belgium . He studied European Studies in Osnabrück and was a visiting student in Spain and a year at Sciences Po Paris . From 2006, Schröder was a doctoral candidate for 3 years at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne. He did his doctorate under Wolfgang Streeck on the subject of how corporate decisions are influenced by moral arguments. He was a postdoc at the Center for European Studies. In April 2016 he became professor at the Institute for Sociology in Marburg. In the winter semester 2016/17 he had a research semester at the Max Planck Sciences Po Center in Paris.

The typology of the varieties of capitalism and the welfare state typology by Esping-Andersens were summarized by Martin Schröder into a comprehensive typology of capitalism.

Together with Mark Lutter, Martin Schröder leads a BMBF- funded project on the influence of scientific productivity on professional success in science. With the help of their own panel database, they found out that women are apparently positively discriminated against when awarding sociology professorships: with the same scientific productivity (especially measured by the number and type of publications) women have a 40% share compared to men higher chance of a professorship.

In specialist articles, Schröder explained that people consider more inequality to be fair when there is actually more inequality in their life and that people are comparatively more dissatisfied when there is more inequality in their own country than before, but not when they are in one country live that has more inequality than any other country.

In 2018, Schröder's finding based on the socio-economic panel that the longer they work, the more satisfied fathers are, while the life satisfaction of mothers is not related to their working hours, attracted media attention . Further evaluations by the SOEP showed that there is no Generation Y with regard to differences in attitudes and that, in general, alleged generation effects are more likely to be explained by age and period changes; and that a preference for the AfD can be explained primarily by concern about immigration, but not by the fact that AfD sympathizers are economically worse off or feel that way.

His first popular science book Why We Have Never Been So Well And We Still Talk About Crises (2019) argues that life in the world and in Germany according to empirical standards such as prosperity, life expectancy, democratization, war deaths and life satisfaction in almost every respect gets better, but hardly anyone realizes this.
