What's your typical level or degree?
In Germany, various aspects of life, work, and living conditions can differ significantly between men and women. While the data available provides a comprehensive overview of some factors, there are certain areas where more detailed statistics are needed.
Average Weekly Working Hours
Full-time workers in Germany typically work around 37 hours per week, which is considered an optimal length for the workweek in recent empirical studies. However, actual hours can be slightly above or below this number, and many workers—especially women—wish to work fewer hours than they currently do [1]. Other data shows average workweek hours ranging from 29.6 to 33.4 hours, reflecting also part-time work prevalence [3][4].
Working Life Duration
The expected duration of working life for men in Germany is about 40 years, while for women it is somewhat lower, consistent with broader EU trends (men about 39.2 years and women about 35.0 years in the EU average) [2].
Age at Marriage and Number of Children
The search results do not explicitly provide data on the average age at marriage in Germany. Similarly, no direct figures on the average number of children per household or per individual in Germany are included in the current search results.
Household Size and Apartment Size
Information on average household size in Germany is not provided in the current search results. Similarly, the search results do not specify average apartment or housing sizes in Germany.
Demographic and Financial Data
The average age at which a man has his first child in Germany is 33.3 years old, while for women it is 30.4 years old. The average age of a man in Germany is 43.5 years old, and for women, it is 46.2 years old. The average weight of a man in Germany is 85.8 kg, and for women, it is 69.2 kg.
Men working full-time in Germany have a median monthly gross salary of 4077 euros, while women working full-time earn a median of 3777 euros. Men working part-time have a median monthly gross salary of 2160 euros, and women working part-time earn a median of 1975 euros.
The average age at which men move out of their parents' home in Germany is around 24 years old, and for women, it is approximately 23 years old. Men work an average of 40.7 hours per week full-time and 20.5 hours part-time, while women work an average of 39.2 hours per week full-time and 22.2 hours part-time.
Future Research
To obtain detailed statistics on age at marriage, family size, household size, and apartment size in Germany, one would typically refer to the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) or detailed Eurostat household surveys, which are not included in the current search data.
- Considering the varying living conditions, it would be intriguing to explore other lifestyle factors such as home-and-garden preferences and practices, as these aspects might also differ significantly between men and women in Germany.
- In addition to work-related statistics, it would be beneficial to investigate other demographic data, like household size and apartment size, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of lifestyle differences between men and women in Germany.
