🚨 New piece in @nathumbehav.nature.com: We show that socioeconomic gaps in childcare access across the OECD are not mainly about lower demand. Many disadvantaged families want childcare but face barriers such as scarcity, costs, and complex procedures. Main takeaway: make access easier 📣

4. As Jevin West and I have been saying for several years now, because a seemingly credible message no longer implies a human sender, LLMs will push us toward more emphasis on reputation and status — and as such serve as an anti-egalitarian force in all aspects of society, science included.

Friedrich Merz hat erst vor 6 Tagen gesagt: «Wir werden mit dieser Partei nicht zusammenarbeiten.» Nun kommt raus, dass sein Parteifreund Manfred Weber im Europaparlament gezielt mit der AfD & anderen Rechtsextremen zusammen arbeitet. Hat Merz noch die Macht in der Union - oder wusste er Bescheid?

Bericht: Interne Chats belegen Kooperation der EVP mit rechten Parteien

Die Brandmauer zur AfD stehe auch im Europaparlament – das beteuerte CSU-Politiker Manfred Weber noch vor Kurzem. Eine Whatsapp-Gruppe und ein Treffen lassen daran Zweifel aufkommen, wie die Nachricht...

JOB! I'm hiring a postdoc for 2 years on my ERC MaMo project. Looking for someone with strong quant methods, ongoing work close to the project's aims, and a desire to publish in sociology. Start flexible in the next 12 months. Formal call out shortly, but contact me first.

Markets and Mobility: How Employers Structure Economic OpportunityIntergenerational mobility, measuring the ability to achieve economic success regardless of family background, is a critical reflection of a society’s commitment to equality of opportunity. Rising income inequality has raised concerns about the potential erosion of upward mobility. While education has traditionally been viewed as the path to mobility, its transformative power is facing challenges in a rapidly evolving job market. This project reorients the focus of intergenerational mobility research by highlighting the labor market as an arena for the reproduction of advantage. It employs a comparative approach, using administrative data from four countries: Sweden, Austria, England, and the United States. It also incorporates evidence from a broader set of nations through cross-national surveys, longitudinal household surveys, labor force surveys, secondary data, and digital trace data. The project employs cutting-edge empirical methods, including quasi- experimental designs, event studies, within-family comparisons, decomposition analyses, counterfactual simulations, and diagnostic checks to rigorously assess the extent of inequalities in the labor market. The research investigates how family background influences the sorting of individuals to employers and workplaces, accounting for education and occupation, and explores variations in career progression within and between employers. It comprehensively catalogues and assesses mechanisms shaping workplace inequality, contributing to the development of social closure theory. Additionally, the project evaluates intervention strategies, encompassing both employer practices and government actions, to promote fair opportunity in the labor market.
