Interesting paper on relationship between national belonging and pro-Jewish sentiment among German natives, Muslim and non-Muslim minorities. Students with migrantion background report lower national belonging and more anti-Jewish sentiment. academic.oup.com/esr/advance-...

📈 Empirically, we find that attributional factors better explain the “perception gap” than actual unfair treatment, in particular information deficits, enrolment in the lowest school tracks, and high parental aspirations.

Katja Pomianowicz @kpomi.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

📚 We study whether this gap results from actual unfair treatment or from attributional factors, such as information deficits, enrolment in a stigmatized track, high parental aspiration, and pronounced “aspiration squeeze”.

🎯 Contribution: - Bridging tracking theory with research on immigrant inequality & the life-course - Adding the meso level to explain how & for which outcomes tracking shapes inequalities in cross-national research - Offering explanations how tracking reinforces cumulative disadvantage (5/5)

100

Katja Pomianowicz @kpomi.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

📈 Key findings: 1. Macro-level tracking moderates meso-level mechanisms on expectations, their realization, less so on achievement 2. Tracking affects gaps in achievement & expectations, partly explained by meso-level mechanisms 3. Gaps in realizing expectations are less shaped by tracking (4/5)

100

Katja Pomianowicz @kpomi.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

🔑 Key arguments: - The country-level tracking degree influences how strongly meso-level mechanisms (learning environments, signaling, structured opportunities) shape immigrant inequalities - .. assuming more pronounced disadvantages for second-gen. immigrant students in more-tracked countries. (3/5)

100

Katja Pomianowicz @kpomi.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

🧩 Theoretically, the thesis - Distinguishes between measuring tracking, i.e., at the macro & meso level - and the mechanisms operating at the meso level, i.e., in schools & classrooms. - Addresses institutional variation in how tracking manifests, i.e., between & within schools / classes. (2/5)

Katja Pomianowicz @kpomi.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

„Das #Arbeitszeitvolumen hat 2023 einen Rekordwert erreicht, und die Erwerbsbeteiligung der Frauen liegt über dem EU-Durchschnitt“, betont Yvonne Lott von unserem @wsiinstitut.bsky.social. „Da kann man insgesamt nicht schlussfolgern, in Deutschland würde zu wenig gearbeitet.“ ☝️

Zitat von Yvonne Lott, WSI-Arbeitszeitexpertin: "In Deutschland ist die Erwerbstätigenquote besonders bei Frauen überdurchschnittlich hoch – eine erfreuliche Entwicklung. Die Bundesregierung kann darauf aufbauen, indem sie die Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie weiter stärkt, etwa durch kluge Arbeitszeitmodelle, die planbare und maßvolle Tagesarbeitszeiten fördern."
