On November 10, Prof. Jutta Allmendinger, PhD, President of the WZB Berlin Social Science Center holds an English lecture as part of the series „Women in Science“, organised by the Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT).
More time for the family, for hobbies, sport or just plain leisure. Working less is what many employees wish for. But only a few can make their wish come true.
Hence, can working full-time still be the order of the day? Can only the model of a full day’s work meet the challenges of today’s professional world – let it be the lack of a skilled workforce, shrinking populations or the unequal pay of women and men? And all of it at the expense of free time?
Renowned sociologist Prof. Jutta Allmendinger, PhD, President of the WZB Berlin Social Science Center, is suggesting a different way. In her scientific work she describes turning away from full-time work and redistributing working time more evenly across the life cycle and between the sexes. “This could reduce weekly working time to 32 hours”, she says.
As part of the public lecture series “Women in Science” organised by the Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT), Prof. Allmendinger explains how more opportunities can be created for men and women by redistributing paid and unpaid work and making adjustments to different life spans.
We cordially invite interested members of the public to join the lecture at the ZMT.

About Women in Science
Demographic change, international competition and the lack of top talent have an effect on science and increasingly challenge the potential of young female academics. Still, many well-qualified women do not reach the top. According to latest figures by the German Federal Office of Statistics women only held 22% of professorship in the country. Since 2012 the Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT) has been inviting successful female scientists to its lecture series “Women in Science” to talk about their research and their professions. With “Women in Science” the ZMT aims at encouraging women to choose a career in science.
