"Viele Probleme, die wir für individuelles Versagen halten, stellen sich als strukturelle Probleme heraus, sobald wir mit anderen darüber sprechen."
Das habe ich immer wieder gesehen: wir dürfen nicht aufhören, über diese Probleme zu reden 1/N

Am 08.03. ist #Weltfrauentag. Für die Gleichberechtigung von Frauen ist viel erreicht worden. Aber es besteht noch Handlungsbedarf, z.B. beim #GenderPayGap oder #GenderCareGap, wie Arbeiten meiner Kollegin Katharina Wrohlich zeigen. Aber auch beim Thema #GewaltGegenFrauen! Dazu das neue DIWaktuell 👇

DIW Berlin @diw.de · Mar 5

2023 gab es in Deutschland insgesamt 938 weibliche Opfer von „versuchten“ (578) und „vollendeten“ (360) Tötungsdelikten. DIW-Abteilungsleiterin Kriminalität, Arbeitsmarkt und Ungleichheit Anna Bindler zeichnet in ihrer Studie ein aktuelles Bild der häuslichen Gewalt: www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....

Opfer häuslicher Gewalt von 2019 bis 2023 als Säulendiagramm. Es gibt viel mehr weibliche Opfer als männliche und auch insgesamt mehr.

It has always been my ambition to push economics research to work at the frontier, producing evidence as the stories unfold. Brexit is one such story. As part of the brexitcost.org project we are measuring and exploring the cost of Brexit across constituent regions in the UK. Small thread ⬇️
