| Tiivistelmä: | Focusing on households in the low-income sector in Germany, this study examines the differential effects of changes in family formations on men's and women's economic vulnerability. It is questioned whether investments in education do provide sufficient resources to escape the risk of poverty in the low-income sector or if changes in household characteristics are more important determinants of one's living standard. Changes in household characteristics are defined in terms of partners' entry into and exit from households and partners' different labour market profiles. Based on findings from panel regression analysis, it is found out that women, in contrast to men, benefit economically as much as or more from investing in traditional family formations than in their own labour market position. In particular, this is the case for women with lower levels of education. |
