Abstract | "This study examines how far radical and still contested changes to Germany's unemployment and social benefit system in 2005 affected the intergenerational transmission of disadvantage for children of benefit recipients. Using difference-in-differences estimation and data from the Socio-Economic Panel, I examine whether inequalities in secondary school track attainment increased after the implementation of the so-called 'Hartz IV' reform. The findings suggest that children whose parents receive the newly created scheme ALGII instead of Arbeitslosenhilfe for unemployment assistance experienced a significant and considerable drop in their chances to attend the academic track. Changes in parents' socio-demographic characteristics due to stricter eligibility criteria and lower household incomes as a result of lower benefit levels account for half of the observed decline. By contrast, reductions in parental life satisfaction due to increased benefit conditionality and stigma are unlikely to mediate the reform's documented effects. Focussing on an important outcome in Germany's highly stratified educational system, the study is hence the first to provide evidence on the intergenerational effects of Hartz IV, shedding light on the role of social security and welfare institutions in the transmission of inequalities from parents to their children."
