We had a busy week. First went to Rotterdam to meet our long term colleague Harry Ganzeboom to work on our Third-Gen Project questionnaire and then attended the ESA RN 22 conference where we presented our 'future' work on intergenerational care.

We are in Belgrade for our @youngliveskcl.bsky.social cross-European symposium on success and equity in the post-16 transitions of young people who don’t go to university. The first day was full of engaging presentations and insightful discussions. Looking forward to the start of the second day.

Today, we had a great session on education and labour market transitions at the RC28 conference. I presented a paper on access to apprenticeships in England from our @youngliveskcl.bsky.social project. It is satisfying to receive good, constructive feedback. Also, great weather and a lovely campus!

Today at #ISAforum2025, our @youngliveskcl.bsky.social team member Rana Khazbak presented our work on young people who do not continue with full time education. Great panel showcasing how longitudinal qual data from India, US, Germany and UK is advancing our understanding of youth transitions.

We had an inspiring session yesterday morning at #ISAforum25 in Rabat! Our panel included papers on migrant socio-economic outcomes and relocation patterns, exploring family and gender effects. Enjoyed presenting our paper, followed by a rich debate by an enthusiastic audience.

Just finished our session this morning at #IMISCOE2025. We had an inspiring discussion with fellow presenters and new connections. Now I can sit back and enjoy the remaining sessions. Nice to be back in a migration conference after a long pause!

Had a very inspiring first day at #IMISCOE2025 with sessions on loneliness in old age and migration and care. On Thursday (July 3rd) I will be presenting our paper on the gendered consequences of migration for occupational attainment in the "Migration and the labour market" panel.

Turkey’s protests over Istanbul mayor grow into ‘fight about democracy’
Anger over detention of Ekrem Imamoğlu becomes a touchstone for opposing President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan When demonstrators gathered ­at Istanbul’s city hall last week in outrage at the arrest of mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, 26-year-old Azra said she was initially too scared to defy a ban on gatherings. As protests grew on university campuses and in cities and towns across Turkey, she could no longer resist joining. “I saw the spark in people’s eyes and the excitement on their faces, and I decided I had to come down here,” she said with a grin, standing among tens of thousands that defied a ban on assembly to fill the streets around city hall on Friday night. Despite the crowds, Azra feared reprisals and declined to give her full name. Many demonstrators were masked in a bid to defy facial recognition ­technology and fearing the teargas or pepper spray sometimes deployed by the police. Others smiled and took ­selfies to celebrate as fireworks illuminated the night sky. Continue reading...

We have written a policy insight on the gains of Turkish migrants & their descendants in Europe. The results are, as often, hard to summarise in a short space but we can confidently say that migrants change and adapt. They do despite all the challenges they face. population-europe.eu/research/pol...
