Introduction: Coastal Studies for an Age of Sail
This introduction proposes the coast, where ecological, political, and aesthetic forces converge, as a critical site for understanding eighteenth-century culture. By tracing the various ways coasts were mapped, engineered, represented, and contested, it outlines the interdisciplinary relations between eighteenth-century studies and the emerging field of coastal studies. It also highlights the coast’s dual role as infrastructure and metaphor in sh…
Automation risks of vocational training programs and early careers in the Netherlands
In this article, we study the role of automation risks in the school-to-work transition (STWT) of secondary vocational education (VET) graduates in the Netherlands. We use a combination of administrative and survey data, enriched with estimates of automation risks. Using sequence analysis, we find four ideal-type school-to-work trajectories representing the first 10 years in the labor market: employment, further education, further VET, and NEET. …
How Young Mothers Rely on Kin Networks and Formal Childcare to Avoid Becoming Neet in the Netherlands
Motherhood is often cited as one of the main reasons for young women to become NEET (not in employment, education, or training). Given the potential long-term negative implications of NEET status, it is important to understand which types of resources can help young mothers to avoid becoming NEET around childbirth. In this paper we investigate how the chances of young mothers to become and stay NEET around the time of first birth are related to t…
Double Disadvantage in School? Children of Immigrants and the Relative Age Effect: A Regression Discontinuity Design Based on the Month of Birth
This article uses pupil’s month of birth as a natural experiment to study how immigrant-native inequalities in retention rates are produced. We argue that, compared to native-born parents, immigrant parents face additional disadvantage when dealing with the age disadvantage of their children. We test this hypothesis using a regression discontinuity design with the French sample of the Programme for International Student Assessment. We find that p…
