The Covid-19 pandemic and the associated measures to contain the virus led to major changes in the world of work and created particular challenges for parents. As part of a joint project with the Institute of Economic and Social Research of the Hans Böckler Foundation (WSI), we are examining the medium- and long-term gender-specific effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on employment, income, and careers. While the research team at the WSI analyses observational data from the HBS Employment Survey and the IAB-PASS, the research team at the WZB is focusing on the collection and analysis of experimental data.

Workshop
Homosexuality constitutes an entrenched taboo in many Muslim countries and communities. LGBT people of Muslim origin are often treated as out-groups and they face severe discrimination and mistreatment, either as a result of harsh laws or due to the homophobic attitude of their families and communities. What are the causes of this problem? Our guest panelists will discuss whether it stems from Islam or rather from other elements, such as culture, colonial heritage, or an incorrect interpretation of the sacred texts.
