PD Dr. Andreas Haupt
I’m a sociologist working at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. My research concerns reasons and consequences of economic inequality in modern societies. I published work about the relations of occupations to wage inequality, income richness, changes for low-income households, poverty, and the gender wage gap. More recent work concerns how to apply distributional methods properly.

One of my core questions is how occupations and inequality are related. I study the influence of occupational regulations on economic inequality, on gender-specific inequalities and how changes in the occupational structure of countries contribute to inequality trends.
How do couples divide cognitive labor within the household? Which consequences has cognitive labor and its unequal division for men and women? How can we meassure elusive concepts like “cognitive labor” or “mental load”?
