A study by the German Youth Institute (DJI) identified two variants for the double career of the Future. One was “Duplicating the Male Career Model”. Here, two careerists simply get off to a flying start and more or less hand over child-rearing completely to a third party. With “Dual Career – dual care”, both partners stand on their respective needs .

Germany's universities have now also recognized how important a good compatibility is and have adjusted to the new dual careerists. So-called dual career centers, which specialize in placing scientists in pairs, are almost part of the standard service at many universities.

Consulting specialized by dual career couples. In the interview on Best of HR – Berufebilder.de® she stated:
“Especially with couples in ambitious positions, it is important to negotiate living and working conditions that are acceptable to both,” she says. Your couple coaching is about working on your own ability to compromise.
