@jharrison37.bsky.social
Sociological Demographer Research Fellow in the @MigrantLife.bsky.social & @para-mor-ukri.bsky.social Immigrants / Assimilation / Mortality / Health / Longitudinal Methods
Using register data from France, @jharrison37.bsky.social & H. Kulu, together with I. Delaporte & A. Pailhé, find that immigrants from North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa & their descendants are less likely to own a home & instead more likely to move to social renting compared to the native group.
Another study led by @jharrison37.bsky.social finds persistent gaps in residential mobility and homeownership between the native population and immigrants + their descendants. @jmikolai.bsky.social @ischiathere.bsky.social @maryabedalahad.bsky.social

Great to see @para-mor-ukri.bsky.social colleague Courtney Franklin do the first presentation of research coming out of our project at #BSPS2025
@jharrison37.bsky.social is next presenting his work on #births, #partnerships & residential #mobility of #immigrants & #descendants in #France! He shows that African immigrants exhibit higher event intensity, some fertility convergence across generations & that residential barriers persist.
Happy BSPS week to all those who celebrate. My office for the afternoon is a table seat on the Transport to Wales service en route to Swansea. Looking forward to catching up with everyone there!
What does a reviewer mean when they say “the results section is too descriptive”? I’m at a bit of a loss about what else should be in a results section if not a description of the results
🚨Great #postdoc opportunity to work with Hill Kulu and the rest of the team on #migrant #family #housing research using #microsimulation! We look forward to receiving your applications! ✍️
