Such an honour to have prof. Tim Liao visiting our department and sharing insights on analysing life courses with us! Lots of food for thought! ✨ And thank you to our @rafgrotti.bsky.social for organizing this seminar.

Publication alert 👏 Our members are all about situating stratification processes within institutional contexts, so seeing this chapter by our P. Barbieri out in "The Oxford Handbook of Social Stratification" feels extra special. A must-read for social scientists! academic.oup.com/edited-volum...

New paper out for - most of - our members! ✨ This time they are investigating whether citizenship acquisition boosts labour market outcomes for migrants in 🇮🇹. You don’t want to miss it!

Population Europe@populationeu.bsky.social · last yr.

Acquiring citizenship is often seen as a milestone of integration. For once because it is assumed to lead to better job prospects. A new study on #Italy challenges this assumption. Read our #PopDigest led by scholars at @csisunitn.bsky.social 🔗https://tinyurl.com/mxd4rdk

The last day of #PoPDays2025 has started but we are not done yet! This morning the Trento delegation populates the "Fertility, wellbeing and life course" session with their works. Is there a better way to end this 3-days adventure?

PopDays 2025, we are on our way! 🌞 The Trento delegation is heading to Cagliari to join the 2025 edition of PoPDays ( @aisp-sis.bsky.social ) - and hopefully squeeze in some sunny moments by the sea. Want to catch up with our members and their works? Here is when and where you can find them:

As we like to say - the CSIS delegation never stops! ✨ Today our @irenemichelin.bsky.social presented her work (w/ @rafgrotti.bsky.social & P. Barbieri) on the role of unemployment for wage mobility among overeducated workers in 🇩🇪 and 🇬🇧 at the CAREER Workshop in Amsterdam. Keep an eye on it!

The 2025 season of Brown Bag Seminars is over - and what a wrap! 🏔️ For our last session, we had the pleasure of hosting @patzinaalex.bsky.social presenting his work on the impact of refugee migration on social trust in 🇩🇪. Keep up with us for the next season of BBS!

Italy heads to the polls June 8–9! 🇮🇹 Voters will decide on key changes to working contract regulations in a national referendum. Want to understand what’s at stake? Join our P. Barbier at a roundtable hosted by Filcams Trentino & Filcams/Lfhd Alto Adige.

Busy week ahead! ✨ Alongside our Brown Bag Seminars, some of our members will join the Trento Economic Festival engage in activities outside the academic walls.

Time flies when you have fun! 🏔️ For the last session of the Euregio Ring Seminar we discussed fertility in OECD countries (W. Adema, @oecd-ocde.bsky.social ) and the socio-economic implications of pregnancy loss ( @aledinal.bsky.social ). Such a nice way to wrap this up! ✨ #euregiomobilityfund

✨ Call for papers! ✨ Our @lucapiccoli.bsky.social is organising (w/ colleagues) a 2-days workshop on socio-emotional skills and education in September (11th-12th). If you would like to partecipate, don't hesitate to candidate sending your work by June 6th (deadline). You don't want to miss it!

Today we had the pleasure of hosting F. Billari, Rector of Bocconi University, for the launch of his new book "Domani è oggi". A powerful reminder of how looking at the world through demographic lenses can help us better understand the past, present and future challenges of our societies.

Day 1 of the Age-Period-Cohort Workshop - organised by our @rafgrotti.bsky.social - is a wrap! ✨ Key takeaway: the APC identification problem may be an unsolvable puzzle, but there are some tricks to get around it. Thanks to @juhoharkonen.bsky.social & J. van Leeuwen for sharing their expertise!

It's a day full of events for our members! 👏 This afternoon our P. Barbieri will join a roundtable discussing inequality dynamics and policy implications at Sapienza University of Rome alongside other prominent scholars. Pay a visit if you're in Rome!

Trento will have a sociologist as a major for other five years. Congrats to F. Ianeselli ( @francoianeselli.bsky.social ) for his re-election! Hope this will spark dialogue between the municipality and the community of sociologists in the city. unitrento.telpress.it/news/2025/05... (🇮🇹)

Another day, another Brown Bag Seminar! 🏔️ Today we had the pleasure of hosting C. Mussida presenting her on-going work (w/ D. Sciulli) on low-pay work in 🇪🇺. Is it transitory or permanent?

Time for a late evening read! 📰 Today’s recommendation is a reflection from our P. Barbieri on the Trentino economy: what could be improved and why it so important to innovate it. Lots of food for thought! 🇮🇹 only: unitrento.telpress.it/news/2025/04...

Our @vferraretto.bsky.social is on a mission to conquer #PAA2025 👏🏻 Pay her a visit if you want to learn more about her work!

Valeria Ferraretto@vferraretto.bsky.social · last yr.

Packing for #PAA2025 (my very first #PAA conference and trip to the US...) with 2 new pieces of research! 🛩️🧳 Make sure to drop by P09 (April 12, 4-5.30pm) to learn more about age at first union & subjective wellbeing among young adults 👩‍❤️‍👨⏰, my first solo-authored work @csisunitn.bsky.social

Kicked off the morning with insightful conversations on technology and its impact on the labour market - lots of food for thought! 🍎
