that economic factors are the main determinants of men's parental leave decisions.
Our main finding is that fathers are more likely to be on parental leave if they have a
highly educated or older partner. We also find that employment through a temporary
working contract substantially lowers the chances that men will take advantage of
parental leave, while being employed in the public sector increases the chances that
men will use their parental leave entitlement. [...] The item with statements of attitudes
regarding maternal employment, childcare, and housework from the ALLBUS
survey 2004 is used to show a strong educational gradient for all items, and for both
sexes: Highly educated respondents are more likely than others to think that working
mothers can establish a loving relationship with their children, and that the child
benefits if the mother works.".

Geissel, Birgit, (2004). Critical Demogratic Citizens as a Demogratic Resource?
Types of Critics and their Profiles in Germany. American Political Science Association:
Chicago.
Abstract: "The "creative potential" of critical citizens plays an increasingly important
role in the recentdebate on political culture. Critical citizens are regarded as indicators
for the health of democracy. This paper develops types of critics, analyzes their
profiles, and discusses whether critical citizens are in fact a democratic resource. The
data is based on a survey on citizens in West and East Germany. The results show
that the disposition to be politically critical while being convinced of the idea of democracy
actually provides a democratic "head start". People with the latter disposition
are better informed, participate more often in the political life, are less alienated
from the political system and have a stronger feeling of internal political efficacy.
Thus, critical citizens may add valuable input to the adaptation of democracy to
changing contexts and circumstances, whereas people without this disposition offer
less innovative input." Die Autorin überprüft ihre Ergebnisse mit dem ALLBUS
