The (non) Europeanization of Latvia’s Far Right

Flipping burgers or flipping pages? Student employment and academic attainment in post-Soviet Latvia
Latvian higher education has undergone a dramatic transition since 1991. This study employs a survey of nearly 1000 social science students studying in 13 different institutions in Latvia to consider the impact of the increase in the number of students who are working while studying. Evidence indicates employment has a strong and significant negative impact on school performance, and the negative impact increases as weekly hours worked increase. …
