Research Project “Impulses for Gender Equality in the Performance Management System in Book II of the Social Code (SGB II)”

The aim of the research project was to develop recommendations for action for steering impulses within the framework of the nationwide SGB II-performance management system which can contribute to the fact that the policy of gender equality in the job seekers’ assistance will be pursued through administrative action to a greater extent.

The research project used a “mixed methods” design for data collection in which qualitative and quantitative methods are complementing each other.

The final report presents the results of the research project and includes a summary of the literature and document analysis, results from interviews with experts, from case studies at 16 job center locations and from a standardized survey. In addition, key findings are presented and concrete recommendations for action are made.
