Abstract

Based on quantitative data analysis covering 65 percent of scientific staff at German universities, Sigrid Metz-Göckel, Kirsten Heusgen, Christina Möller, Ramona Schürmann and Petra Selent follow the thesis that precarization forces young researchers to either withdraw from higher education and research or forego starting a family. Unfortunately, the authors accept unquestionably the double-career-family model as the lifestyle norm for women and men and their powerful statements are only partially proven. Nonetheless, the study remains a refreshing plea for political intervention in lieu of increasing fixed-term employment and part-time work in higher education and research.
