The tipping point of intolerance: Radical-right elections and terrorist attacks as catalysts for anti-Muslim hate crime in Europe
This paper provides a cross-country analysis of anti-Muslim hate crimes in Europe, using ODHIR-OSCE data for 30 countries between 2016 and 2022. We systematically compare the effects of two major shocks highlighted in the literature: radical-right electoral gains and Islamist terrorist attacks. The paper explores two mechanisms through which these shocks may impact hate crimes against Muslim minorities: (1) legitimization, whereby terrorism or ra…
Optimizing Engagement: Factors Influencing Family Participation in a Positive Parenting Program among Vulnerable Households with Young Children
Objective: This paper addresses a critical gap in family research by examining the risk of families with young children receiving the Minimum Living Income (MLI) in rejecting targeted social interventions, also known as non-take-up (NTU). Method: We analyze recruting process data from the first invitation to participate in a social benefit including the "Growing Happily in the Family-2" program developed in Madrid, Spain, to their written consent…
Tracing the evolution of preschool’s impact on education over a century: Spain, 1900-1973
Preschool is acknowledged as a strategy for promoting long-term educational attainment and fostering equality of educational opportunities. Most of these expectations are based on evidence from rather recent periods. Leveraging retrospective data from cohorts born between 1900 and 1973 in Spain, we examine the historical evolution of returns to early education and its potential for equalization. We argue that this equalizing potential is continge…
Birth weight in a warming world: Investigating the protective role of the “healthy immigrant effect” against extreme heat
This paper investigates the impact of extreme heat on perinatal health disparities between migrant and native-born populations in Spain. Using birth records from 2018 to 2021, we analyze the effects of heat exposure during pregnancy, measured through orange-level heat alerts (> 37–40 °C), on birth outcomes such as absolute weight, the risk of low birth weight ( 4000 g), and preterm birth (
Decoupling selection: Romanian migrants in Spain and the UK and the disconnect between observable and unobservable traits
In this paper we explore the relationship between positive selection on observable traits and unobservable traits among Romanian migrants in Spain and the United Kingdom. Using comparative data and a standardized index of job search intensity during unemployment, we show that although Romanian migrants in the UK are strongly positively selected on education, this does not necessarily translate into greater resilience or proactive labor market eng…
Fewer children, better futures: How war shapes family choices
Background: Most research on the demographic impact of war focuses on how highly disruptive conflicts impact family life, often overlooking how less destructive wars shape family strategies. Understanding family adaptation in these contexts is essential for a nuanced view of war’s demographic effects
Bienestar psicológico y resiliencia de los inmigrantes en crisis sociales emergentes
Este artículo compara el bienestar psicológico de inmigrantes y nativos durante los confinamientos de la primavera de 2020 en Madrid (España). Utilizamos datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud de 2017, y del Panel de Hogares de COVID-19 de Madrid. En general, la población en riesgo de morbilidad psicológica llega al 60 por ciento durante los confinamientos. No se encuentran grandes diferencias entre inmigrantes ni nativos. Sin embargo, surge una …
Inhibiting or Contributing? How Global Liberal Forces Impact Climate Change Skepticism
Although climate change remains a top environmental threat, significant portions of the global population continue to exhibit climate change skepticism. Currently, an extensive literature identifies the micro-level determinants of climate skepticism, often manifesting as a form of populist “backlash” to the adverse effects of globalization. However, the potential of macro-level global cultural forces—particularly embeddedness in liberal world soc…
Clase social de origen y rendimiento escolar como predictores de las trayectorias educativas
En este artículo exploramos el impacto del rendimiento escolar (conocidocomo efectos primarios) y la estructura de costes y beneficios a los quese enfrentan los individuos de distinta clase social de origen (efectossecundarios) cuando afrontan la transición entre la educación obligatoriay no obligatoria en España.

La concentración de minorías étnicas en las escuelas británicas un análisis sobre la elección de centros
Este trabajo presenta un estudio sobre las preferencias en torno a la concentración de minorías étnicas en las escuelas, uno de los factores menos conocidos de los determinantes de la segregación étnica. Utilizando una encuesta hecha a bangladeshíes, caribeños, chinos, indios y pakistaníes en Inglaterra y Gales, el trabajo sugiere que tanto la proximidad a la cultura de origen como la percepción sobre un entorno que discrimina son factores relaci…
Transnationalization of Educational Aspirations: Evidence from China
The international migration of students has garnered a lot of attention from researchers due to its growing popularity and significance. However, the current state of research in this field is limited. On one hand, there is a scarcity of high-quality, large-scale data, and existing studies primarily focus on students who are already abroad. On the other hand, the field predominantly revolves around Bourdieusian-inspired arguments that narrowly vi…
Selectivity among educational migrants? A multi-sited investigation
Research on migration is shifting from comparisons between migrants and non-migrants in destination countries to a multi-sited origin-destination perspective, which allows us to address the issue of migrant selectivity. Selectivity implies that migration results from a systematic bias according to which emigrants differ from non-migrants in origin. The literature on selectivity has overlooked educational migrants, an important contributor to the …
Meritocracy or reputation? The role of rankings in the sorting of international students across universities
University rankings have gained prominence in tandem with the global race towards excellence and as part of the growing expectation of rational, scientific evaluation of performance across a range of institutional sectors and human activity. While their omnipresence is acknowledged, empirically we know less about whether and how rankings matter in higher education outcomes. Do university rankings, predicated on universalistic standards and shared…
The impact of physical separation from parents on the mental wellbeing of the children of migrants
Much has been said about the harm children of migrants experience as a consequence of sequential family migration. Most of this literature discusses the case of children left behind. By contrast, this paper measures the cost in mental wellbeing (proxied by a composite index of non-specific psychological wellbeing) that children of migrant and native families suffer as a consequence of long periods of physical separation from their parents after f…
It is all about “Hope”: Evidence on the immigrant optimism paradox
This paper investigates the immigrant educational optimism hypothesis using data from Spain. Specifically, we examine the nature of higher educational expectations among migrant-origin families in comparison to non-migrant families, conditional upon students’ prior school performance and social background. Our dataset includes more than two thousand students in secondary schools in Madrid and, as an innovation in the literature, allows identical …
Migrant Concentration in Schools and Students' Performance: Does It Matter When Migrants Speak the Same Language as Nonmigrant Students
A negative correlation between schools' migrant share and students' educational outcomes has been described in multiple contexts, including Spain. In this article, we concentrate on testing the implications of one of the main mechanisms explaining this relationship, which pays attention to the share of migrants who are not proficient in the language of instruction. Spain represents an interesting case due to the significant presence of migrants b…
Observing the Unobservable: Migrant Selectivity and Agentic Individuality Among Higher Education Students in China and Europe
The research in migrant selectivity largely overlooks the broader institutional processes that shape the extent to which migrants from different backgrounds are indeed positively selected. This is particularly true in the case of highly skilled migrants, whose selection may not be conditioned by migration but by education. This paper deals with this limitation by studying individual characteristics, which are often treated as unobserved selectivi…
Educational expectations in the great recession: Has the Impact of Family Background Become Stronger
This article addresses the impact of economic climate, and particularly of the Great Recession, on the configuration of educational expectations among students around 14 years old. We analyze expectations regarding educational attainment conditional on school performance and compare our results across countries with varying levels of economic growth over time. We expect a changing economic environment to impact on (a) the average level of educati…
Determinantes del estrés psicológico no específico entre los adolescentes latinoamericanos en Madrid la edad a la migración y la concentración escolar
El estrés es un determinante no cognitivo del rendimiento escolar que, a menudo, se pasa por alto en la sociología de la inmigración y la educación. En cambio, la epidemiología social en los Estados Unidos ha confirmado que los adolescentes de origen latinoamericano tienen un mayor riesgo de estar desaventajados en esta dimensión comparados con otros grupos raciales / étnicos, incluso controlando por la edad, el género y el estado socioeconómico.…
How much can you take with you? The role of education in explaining differences in the risk of unemployment between migrants and natives
This paper looks at how migrants with different skill profiles make use of their education in order to avoid unemployment compared with natives in three European countries with significantly different labour markets and policies for attracting highly skilled migration: France, Spain and the UK. The paper also explores the role played by the quality of the education migrants and natives received in accounting for these differentials, an explanatio…
Are They Deterred by Welfare? Digging into the Drivers of Highly Skilled Temporary and Long‐term Migrants in Europe
Literature researching the drivers of highly skilled migration (HSM) often prioritizes labor market returns to education and downscales the importance of public welfare. This article develops an innovative empirical strategy which allows us to see how a selection of pull factors attracts temporary and long‐term educated migrants in Europe. To do so, we built a unique longitudinal contextual dataset merging information from the European Labor Forc…
Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare Vol. 45 No. 2
The research focused on two aspects of political involvement among social workers.The first was the direct political involvement of social workers on behalf of their clients, and the second, the social workers' encouragement of their clients' involvement in political activity.The main purpose of the research was to identify the factors that explain these two types of political involvement among social workers.The data were collected by means of a…
Why study abroad? Sorting of Chinese students across British universities
This research contributes to the booming literature on the mobility of international students in higher education. We analyse university-level factors that affect the sorting of Chinese international students across British universities. We produced a unique data-set merging university-level data from the 2014 UK Higher Education Statistics Agency and the Higher Expectations Survey, supplemented by qualitative evidence from six focus groups for i…
Does Living in a Fatherless Household Compromise Educational Success? A Comparative Study of Cognitive and Non-cognitive Skills
This study addresses the relationship between various family forms and the level of cognitive and non-cognitive skills among 15- to 16-year-old students. We measure cognitive skills using standardized scores in mathematics; non-cognitive abilities are captured by a composite measure of internal locus of control related to mathematics. A particular focus lies on father absence although we also examine the role played by co-residence with siblings …

The school careers of ethnic minority youth in France: Success or disillusion
This article explores the educational performance and careers of the children of immigrant families and those of French natives in secondary schooling in France. Using a rich longitudinal dataset (the 1995 Panel of the Ministry of Education), we compare the parents' educational expectations with the school careers of their children. We identify higher educational expectations among immigrant parents than among natives from a similar social backgr…
Determinants of Attitudes Toward Transitional Justice: An Empirical Analysis of the Spanish Case
Much has been said about the institutional determinants of transitional justice (TJ), yet scholars still know little about the determinants of citizens’ attitudes toward restorative policies aimed at addressing human rights violations of the past. This article draws on an original survey of a representative sample of Spanish citizens conducted in 2008. One year earlier, the Spanish socialist government had approved the so-called Law of Historical…

The Impact of Immigrant Concentration in Spanish Schools: School, Class, and Composition Effects
The existence of a negative correlation between the concentration of immigrants in certain schools and the school attainment of its students is a well-documented empirical conclusion in the American and European sociology of education, yet sociologists of education are still debating why the migrant (and ethnic) composition of schools has such an impact on results above and beyond individual characteristics. Using a Spanish survey study (INECSE, …

Preschool education as the great equalizer? A cross-country study into the sources of inequality in reading competence
In this study we examine the extent to which preschool education can reduce social background differentials in learning outcomes across countries; our focus is on whether the benefits of preschool attendance for children depend on other family inputs such as parents' education and their pedagogical involvement during early childhood. We use the 2011 Progress in International Reading Literacy Study, which provides a standardized measure of reading…
Primary and secondary effects in the explanation of disadvantage in education: The children of immigrant families in France
This paper explores the prospective transition of immigrant and native students in France from lower to upper secondary school. Because they are more likely to be tracked to less prestigious (vocational) tracks, immigrant and immigrant‐origin students are significantly disadvantaged at this key academic stage in comparison with the children of native families. Primary and secondary sources of educational disadvantage are explored to explain this …
Is There a North–South Divide in Integration Outcomes? A Comparison of the Integration Outcomes of Immigrants in Southern and Northern Europe
Is the Spanish Recession Increasing Inequality? Male Migrant-native Differences in Educational Returns Against Unemployment
In this paper, we explore the impact that the current economic crisis is having on the extent to which education protects migrants and natives from unemployment in Spain. To do so, we use random constant models on a pooled sample of respondents to the Labour Force Survey (LFS) from 2003 to 2012. Specifically, we analyse the market value of the educational credentials held by African, Latin American and East European migrants compared with Spanish…

Immigration and the vote for the left: Measuring the effect of ethnic diversity on electoral outcomes at the district level
In recent years, much has been written on the impact of immigration on Western political party systems and electoral landscapes. The vast majority of these works have sought to unravel the links between changes in a country’s ethnic composition and the rise and differential success of extreme and populist right-wing parties. Considerably less attention has been devoted to examining the effect of large migration rates on the fate of traditional pa…

Extra-representational types of political participation and models of trade unionism: A Cross-Country Comparison
Applying multi-level modelling to the four rounds of the European Social Survey currently available (2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008), our paper provides evidence of cross-country divergence in the empirical association between extra-representational types of political participation and trade union membership. Cross-national differences in union members' political participation of this kind, we argue, can be explained by the existence of models of unio…
