We address this question using fixed-effects models on panel data from. Switzerland. To measure job insecurity, we use two subjective indicators (risk of job. loss and fear of job loss in the last year) and an objective one (having a temporary contract). We assess well-being by studying job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and mental health, and perform separate analyses for men and women. Results suggest that employability does not mitigate the impacts of job insecurity on job satisfaction. For life satisfaction, employability reduces the impacts of the risk of job loss in the last year, but only among men. Regarding mental health, employability partially offsets the impacts of the risk of job loss in the last year for both men and women. We conclude that even though employability might help, it does not shield workers from the negative impacts of job insecurity. This suggests that the flexicurity strategy falls short of mitigating the non-pecuniary impacts of job insecurity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 100915"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0276562424000283/pdfft?md5=c7c68e3e955b11ee52d8aef674d596f7&pid=1-s2.0-S0276562424000283-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140191649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we employ the school-fixed effect model and inverse probability weighting approach to examine the association of boarding on middle-school students’ academic outcomes in China, where most schools have a mixed population of boarders and non-boarders. Based on the two waves of panel data from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) in 2013 and 2014, we find that boarding is positively associated with students’ academic scores, particularly math and Chinese. Rural-origin students, including rural local students and rural migrant students, benefit more from living on campus. Reduced study distractions, such as housework and playing can partially explain this positive boarding effect. This study lends empirical support to the positive effect of boarding on academic performance among students who are segregated by <em>Hukou</em> and migration status in China.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 100913"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140069186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use data from the German SOEP household panel study and employ propensity score techniques to address differential selection into activities. Our results show that participation in both activities combined is most strongly related to cognitive test scores, followed by music activities and sports. Further, the results show that adolescents with more educated parents show a stronger link between participation in both activities combined and cognitive test scores than adolescents from less educated families. The same pattern holds for sports, although estimates are less clear. In contrast, the link between participation in music and cognitive test scores shows no variation by parental background. Our findings indicate that the participation in extracurricular activities does not diminish the gap in cognitive skills between children from less and more educated families; in fact, involvement in both activities combined further widens this disparity. Hence, even if adolescents from different socioeconomic backgrounds participated in activities to the same extent, gaps in cognitive skills by parental education are not reduced, and extracurricular activities thus have the potential to reinforce social inequalities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 100895"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0276562424000088/pdfft?md5=df4acd3dc2c2df81b30d1c875bf6f8ae&pid=1-s2.0-S0276562424000088-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140042058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite our understanding of wealth inequality in later life as the result of an accumulative process of resource acquisition that occurs across the life course, conclusions about economic inequality associated with disability are mainly based on cross-sectional research or very short-term panel studies. In this paper, we examine the extent to which work disability in mid-life creates a cumulative disadvantage in wealth accumulation that grows with age. Using long-term longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), we follow respondents from their 40 s into their 60 s to understand the relationship between work disability and wealth accumulation over time. Growth curve models include two specifications of trajectories of household wealth accumulation; as a function of time-varying work disability and also as a function of cumulative exposure to work disability in mid-life. Although both specifications indicate a disability penalty to wealth accumulation, the cumulative exposure model shows that initial wealth disparities associated with disability grow substantially with age, resulting in a widening gap in household wealth at the threshold of traditional retirement age for those with histories of temporary or persistent work disability in midlife.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 100896"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027656242400009X/pdfft?md5=2c825c8f1b7999023505ba379594b819&pid=1-s2.0-S027656242400009X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140112623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We draw on approaches highlighting the importance of resources and parents’ acculturation to explain the informational differences between immigrant and non-immigrant parents. Employing linear regression and probability models on data from the National Educational Panel Study in Germany (N = 3961), we demonstrate that all immigrant groups, particularly those from Turkey, the former Yugoslavia, the Middle East, and northern Africa, are significantly less informed than parents without own immigration experience. This result is evident both in our overall test and in various domains of the test, which analyze different aspects of information relevant to parents’ educational decision-making. Furthermore, different endowments with social and cultural capital largely explain the informational differences between parents with and without an immigrant background. In contrast, different acculturation strategies are almost negligible in explaining the differences in the level of information. Our findings provide important insights for research on migration-related inequalities in educational decision-making and for developing interventions to improve migrant parents’ ability to make well-informed and thus intended educational decisions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 100894"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0276562424000076/pdfft?md5=31369874eee8a64f8cec12b71f919bfb&pid=1-s2.0-S0276562424000076-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139946263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the mobility levels of individuals tend to be higher for mothers than for fathers, which implies a greater improvement when compared to the most vulnerable group, i.e., women.

We implemented a multifactorial survey experiment design including immigrants’ characteristics such as continent of origin, education, religion, and reason for migration.

Analysis of the data leads to a twofold conclusion. First, justification of wage discrimination against immigrants is widespread. Second, justification of wage discrimination is influenced by immigrants’ characteristics, being most pronounced (even extreme) in the case of clearly defined “outgroup” populations (Muslims and Christians, asylum seekers and labor migrants) and least pronounced in the case of immigrants belonging to the dominant “in-group” population (Jews and repatriates). In addition, endorsement of discrimination tends to increase with respondents’ levels of prejudice, fear of cultural change, and economic threat.
