We just moved in here! The European Values Study (EVS) is a large-scale, cross-national, repeated cross-sectional survey research programme on basic human values. It provides insights into the ideas, beliefs, preferences, attitudes, values and opinions of citizens all over Europe.

How does the local #context affect the #integration of #migrants? The BOnD project analyzes the effect of urban and rural contexts on #acculturation processes and on the ways in which cultural values influence the socioeconomic integration of migrants. #sociology #migrationresearch

So it turns out the whole age-period-cohort thing goes way back, with super cool graphs being generated *in the 1870s.* Check out Keiding (2011): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

BOnD project is made possible by a team of researchers and experts from University of Milan (lead partner), Fondazione ISMU, and the University of Bologna, with the contribution of Fondazione Cariplo. Find out more about the TEAM here > www.spstrend.it/between-orig... #sociology #migrationresearch
