How do newly arrived immigrant students fare in Europe? My new chapter uses PISA 2022 data to explore math proficiency gaps across 16 countries. Socioeconomic and linguistic factors explain much of the variance, but substantial gaps persist. OA link: doi.org/10.1007/978-...
🏢 The Thermostat of Opportunity! The image below (taken at the recent @isa-rc28.bsky.social conference in Seville) shows a building covered in AC units, but it also illustrates potential inequality in access to cooling. New paper with @ckoenig.bsky.social (@wzb.bsky.social): doi.org/10.1016/j.er...

1/4 🗣️ Has feminism gone too far? In a new preprint with @stinasiegert.bsky.social, we analyze how agreement with this statement might vary across genders and age groups in Europe. Read the full preprint here: doi.org/10.31235/osf...

🚨New preprint! We mapped sibling similarity in education across 28 European countries from 1945 to 1992, finding massive cross-national variation but mostly stability over time. We found NO robust evidence for the GGC within countries across cohorts. 👇https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/qayk9_v1
Sibling Similarity in Education in Europe: Trends Across Birth Cohorts (1945–1992) and a Test of the Great Gatsby Curve Sibling similarity in education is a more comprehensive measure of the effects of family background on education than the similarity between parents and childre #sociology link
1/5 📱 Gendered Associations Between Social Media Usage & Adolescent Life Satisfaction Our new study (w/ Ricarda Ullrich) finds no one-size-fits-all "social media effect". The link is deeply gendered and context-dependent. 🔗 Read here: doi.org/10.1186/s405...
🚨 Are Gen Z gender gaps in gender equality attitudes really as pronounced as perceived? In a new preprint w/ @stinasiegert.bsky.social , we analyzed 82k+ young adults across 24 European countries. 👉 Read here: osf.io/6h9gd_v1

📠 New paper out! It explores how gendered career patterns among couples around first birth intersect with changes in individual poverty risk, i.e. under the assumption of no income pooling. Read it OA here: doi.org/10.1016/j.al...
Despite popular perception, there is no clear evidence of a broad rightward shift among young men. New study by @nennstielr.bsky.social & @hudde.bsky.social explores political divides btw young men and women - looking back as far as 1990 and using data from 32 EU countries. tinyurl.com/389b8mmx
❌ “No” still isn’t heard equally. Drs. @nennstielr.bsky.social and @saraalice.bsky.social’s #Socius study using #Eurobarometer shows men across the EU are less likely to reject “no means yes.” Rejection rises with #GenderEquality and stronger #ConsentLaws. Read: doi.org/10.1177/2378...
🚨 New paper out! 🚨 We use Eurobarometer data to explore how strongly people across the EU reject the “no means yes” rape myth. Gender gaps persist, but shrink with higher gender equality and “only yes means yes” laws. w/ @saraalice.bsky.social l (@unibe.ch) 👉 doi.org/10.1177/23780231251351676
🚨 We analyze gender gaps in STEM aspirations across educational pathways in Switzerland. Gender gaps are larger in vocational (VET) routes than in academic pathways — and existing theories explain less of these gaps among students aspiring VET. 👉 doi.org/10.1186/s40461-025-00187-3
🚨 New paper published in RSSM @isa-rc28.bsky.social🚨 We explore how gender differences in occupational status have evolved in Switzerland across five decades, as women have attained increasingly higher educational qualifications. w/ Rolf Becker (@unibe.ch) 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.rs...

HOW IMPORTANT IS SOCIAL BACKGROUND FOR SES? A major issue in social stratification/class mobility research is the effect of one's social origins (or class background) on socioeconomic outcomes. Our new paper tackles this question using two research designs. Preview: It's not that important. [1/9]
Paper on the ideology gender gap with Eurobarometer data from @gesis.org by @nennstielr.bsky.social and @hudde.bsky.social . Most interesting finding: while young women are becoming more left-wing in 11 countries, in 5 of them young men are also becoming more right-wing (DK, FI, SE, FR and LT)
