Abstract

"In recent years women could slightly increase their participation in leading positions in the private and public sector. In East Germany they succeeded more often than in West Germany in achieving management positions. This is due to the fact that East German women are less often interrupting their careers and working part-time. However, the advance of East German women seems to disappear gradually, because working patterns in East Germany are conforming to West German patterns." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
