Juu, eikä tuo aikataulutuspyrkimys ole mitenkään välttämättä kaikilla päivillä ollutkaan. Tänä vuonna siihen kuitenkin pyrittiin. Mutta mielestäni ehdotuksesi teemoittaisesta abstraktihausta olisi kyllä laajemman keskustelun arvoinen.

Hyvä avaus, vaikka täytyy myös sanoa, että joitain ehdottamiasi toimia oli Sosiologipäivissä taustalla, vaikka se ei ulospäin välttämättä näkynyt. Työryhmiä siis pyrittiin myös yhdistämään ja myös aikatauluttamaan siten, että samankaltaiset eivät olisi päällekkäin.

Our OG-style social mobility article (loglinear models, occ classes, etc…) for Finnish 1951-1980 birth cohorts is finally out!

Publishing this article is also an emotional experience, as Lucia passed away unexpectedly in March while the article was still under review.

We miss her quite a bit.

Lucia Ruggera, @elinakilpi.bsky.social & @janierola.net show that for cohorts 1951-1980 educational inequalities have decreased for both men and women in Finland while returns to education only decreased for men, not women.
