Participating at the #RC28 online conference on educational inequalities?
Come to my talk on the spatial embeddedness of #VET dropout decisions 🚫 and consequences 💸 in Germany at 11 am (Room 1) today!
In May, #RC28 meets in Sevilla. Glad my paper got accepted for presentation: Politics and intergenerational mobility. See you there?

The EUI crowd at the #rc28 conference last week! @eui-sps.bsky.social
A perfectly organized RC28, brilliant presentations, and sunny Milan vibes ☀️
As always, truly stimulating and fun to be with the CLIC crew (and several CLICers are missing from the pic!)

It’s a wrap for this 2025 edition of RC28 in Milan! 🌞
It’s always a pleasure to engage with familiar faces and get to know new ones.
Thank you to the organising committee for the hard work!
See you around!

Thank you #rc28milano #rc28! It was a great conference again. Alla prossima!
#RC28 Milano and attendees: you’ve been fabulous 🙏 @isa-rc28.bsky.social
Great presentation by @katymorris.bsky.social #RC28 on local opportunities - measured by growth of high paying jobs - affecting attitudes and feeling left behind, captured here by Brexit votes. Where such jobs grew heavily the probability of voting leave was 12 pp lower than where it didn't grow.
Final session #RC28 starts with fascinating talk by Marlis Buchmann on the demand and supply of skills in Switzerland. She shows IT and social skills often go hand in hand, and some clear upgrading of occupations over time.
Very interesting work by Julian Seuring at #RC28 looking at language instruction participation among refugee children in Germany. It shows the importance of preschool participation and the community context
Presentation by Yuxin Liu at #RC28 on rural to urban migration in China and Nepal. She shows that left behind children are impacted both by parents or wider family migrating, but only parental migration is associated with better educational outcomes - likely because financial means are more targeted
Great start of the final day #RC28 with Elias Kruithof @brispo-vub.bsky.social presenting on intergenerational educational mobility of second generation migrants in Belgium - looking only at parental education can be misleading, as the relative education compared to context of origin matters
The last day of #RC28 has arrived - but our members are not done yet! 🌞
Final talk of the day by Christoph Janietz on women in the pay structure in Dutch companies, showing under representation of women at the top of the within firm pay hierarchy #RC28
Very interesting presentation by @dirkwitteveen.bsky.social at #RC28 on the match between college majors and jobs in the US. What seems to matter most is getting into the occupation that matches degree, not as much the skills or whether you train further.
Great talk by @filippogch.bsky.social on the importance of family origin on wages in a comparative study of US, Italy, and Germany showing rather similar overall intergenerational inequality, but rather different mechanisms, #RC28
Attending #RC28 in Milan is such a valuable experience! I had the opportunity to reflect on insightful studies and to present my work with Nazareno Panichella on hiring discrimination against 2gen individuals in the Italian labour market 🔎
A new project made its debut at #RC28! ✨
We’re still trying to figure out whether ascribed characteristics or lifelong processes matter the most for earnings in later life. We’ll keep you posted!
Nice presentation by Alessio Tomelleri at #rc28 on how having higher digital skills affects hiring intention. More advanced skills may be even more relevant than educational qualifications.
Interesting work by Joshua Choper with @zparolin.bsky.social at #rc28 showing more platform work - Uber in this case - where there is more inequality as there is both more supply and demand. This is quite in line with our @etui.bsky.social work on platform work economy
Great presentation by Lorenzo Bernabei at #RC28 on how new technologies affect employment structure in EU. They find some upgrading - more people in higher skilled and higher paying jobs - particularly when accompanied by better training and more tertiary educated workers.
"The markers of status: A survey experiment on characteristics that count in status attribution"
Alisia Bauer (LMU Munich) presenting at #RC28 - stop by during the coffee breaks to know more!
Very interesting talk by Leo Azzolini #rc28 on social origins and unemployment risks over the lifecourse. It shows clear differences between the US where inequality increases, UK where it is stable, and Germany where there is no difference. Shows importance of institutions
Great talk on very careful study by Joey Tang #rc28 on unemployment scarring and the negative effects later on of being rejected from unemployment insurance, which leads to a higher take up of social assistance later on.
Nice presentation by Niko Eskelinen on the persistence of being not in employment or education for young people - this state is persistent, particularly for the more vulnerable. #RC28
Nice start of the second day at #rc28 by Christof Müller @iabnews.bsky.social on subsidized IT training. Men are more likely to do such training, but also much more likely to afterwards go to IT jobs, which shows gender gap is not just about training itself but also what happens after
More on my take on causality, as explained during my discussion of Checchi’s keynote at @isa-rc28.bsky.social #rc28milano #rc28 #rc28milano25, see my blog open.substack.com/pub/hermwerf...
