The Social Origins of #Effort: Social background influences how hard children try. However, incentives at school can reduce socioeconomic inequalities, as a new study by Jonas Radl and Heike Solga et al. shows. www.wzb.eu/en/press-rel... @davebrady72.bsky.social

We’d like to believe that effort matters to what we attain in life. In fact our belief in meritocracy depends on that. But what if how much effort people spend itself depends on your social background? “The Social Origins of Effort: How Incentives Reduce Socioeconomic Disparities among Children”

Extremely happy that my project got funded with a Consolidator Grant from @erc.europa.eu. The project is called FIRMS, and with a team, I'll study how the workplace/firm affects inequality in careers. We'll use register data to trace the careers of millions of workers. 1/3 www.uva.nl/en/content/n...

To counter elite capture we must reinvigorate class consciousness

Greater "class consciousness" may be the key to countering the Far Right, elite capture and policies such as welfare cuts
