Using harmonized factorial survey experiments with professors of economics, political science, and social sciences, we found that women in Germany have an advantage both in perceived qualification for an assistant professorship and in the propensity to receive an interview invitation. In contrast, women in Italy are neither disadvantaged nor advantaged. We also examine whether gender biases exist when there is ambiguity about applicants' academic performance (co-authorship) and career commitment (parental leave). Our results reveal a co-authorship penalty and a parenthood premium in both countries, with no gender differences observed.

Our analysis reveals that, despite short-term income disruptions and persistent income volatility, laid-off workers restored income and gained improved access to various types of health insurance over two decades. In the medium term, we observed increased mortality and cardiovascular diseases, which subsided after a decade. Notably, hypertension emerged as an outcome only after a decade of job loss. While the expansion of urban health insurance schemes contributed to reducing long-term mortality risks, the impact on other health outcomes was marginal. Contrary to patterns observed in Western developed countries, economic mechanisms in transitional China overall played only a minor role in the adverse effects on physical health outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of considering the temporal dynamics and the heterogeneity of impacts across evolving socio-cultural and policy contexts. We also discuss the social-psychological mechanisms that operate within the rich context of transitional China over several decades.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103110"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a dataset that combines five waves of the China Family Panel Studies surveys with city-level socioeconomic measures from 2010 to 2018, we find that, despite the role of economic growth, social security spending significantly encourages political support. The impact of social security expansion is particularly pronounced during periods of economic slowdown and among its primary beneficiaries—rural residents and non-state-sector workers. Moreover, social security spending enhances political support across both disadvantaged and advantaged groups, while economic growth primarily increases the political support of advantaged groups.

In this study, we analyze a nationally representative sample of Korean college graduates to examine whether and how being born in the White Horse year, thereby being chronically exposed to gender stereotype-violating stigma, affects women's higher educational attainment. Our difference-in-differences models show that White Horse women, on average, entered colleges of lower selectivity than did non-White Horse women, whereas no such disadvantage was attached to White Horse men. The results also suggest that, although the negative impact of the White Horse stigma is more salient for socioeconomically disadvantaged White Horse women than for their advantaged counterparts, the difference between the two groups does not reach statistical significance.
