Chancengleichheit der Geschlechter? Der Zusammenhang von Geschlecht, Elternschaft und Weiterbildungsteilnahme

The author pursues the issue whether gender equity has been achieved in continuing educational participation. According to Friebel, this question can only be answered if the life and work contexts are considered as a biographic regulative of the participation in continuing education. The underlying empirical data is based on the longitudinal study »Hamburger Biografie- und Lebenslaufpanel« (HBLP), in which findings about the correlation of gender, parenthood and participation in continuing education in the tradition of life course research are discussed.
