Even in Denmark, cultural tastes are socially stratified. With some quite cool library data we find strong gradients by education and wealth - important as wealth is rarely studied in cultural stratification research doi.org/10.1093/esr/... OA: osf.io/ar2xc_v2/dow... @europeansocreview.bsky.social

What does space have to do with dropouts rates? My new article says: a lot! Between 2005 and 2020, the no. of trainees dropping out of the dual training system rose steadily. The trend has a regional component. See the article (🇩🇪) for more details: www.iab-forum.de/ausbildungsa... #dualeausbildung

A commonly held notion is that Germany's far-right party AfD is especially successful in the country's more rural areas. However, a look at the party's election results in over 10,000 municipalities suggests that the link between rurality and AfD support is rather diffuse. A simple thread. 🧵👇

Refugees in 🇩🇪 are not allowed to relocate for some time after arrival. We know this is bad for integration. So, once they are allowed to, refugees move to places with opportunity, right? On average: no, as @mschaeffer.bsky.social and I show in a new publication @scmrjems.bsky.social . Thread👇
