Formally starting tomorrow (practically a holiday) - our EU-funded research project on refugee resettlement programs, with a strong focus on comparing living conditions before and after resettlement.

Bielefeld is on the way to Milan. What a beautiful train route! #ESRA23, here we come.

Finally, we also find an effect for the local-occupational labor market characteristics (FEs for districts and occupations included): The higher the local share of foreigners in refugees’ pre-migration occupations, the higher the probability of an occupational match. 5/5

In contrast to the labor supply, the labor demand (vacancies) only unfolds an effect for the employment probability on the occupational level. This indicates that the general demand for certain jobs is more important than the regional variation in this demand. 4/5

In our new publication, @doriantsolak & I analyzed the relevance of local, occupational and local-occupational labor market characteristics for refugees’ employment prospects in Germany. Approach & results summarized below. Find the paper here: bit.ly/makingthematch 1/5

You can access the full paper until the 24th of May without needing a subscription to RSSM by following this link: bit.ly/rssm_buermann Feel free to get in touch with me if you have questions or comments. 5/5

Ultimately, the finding "simply" demonstrates a sociologically sound and substantial interplay between the concepts & suggests that avoiding over- and achieving undereducation play an important role in maintaining high status across generations, beyond educational attainment. 4/5

Hey mismatch & mobility folks, in my new paper in RSSM I show that social origin only has an advantageous effect for educational mismatches among employees with intergenerational stability and that mobile employees do not contribute to the effects reported in the literature. 1/5

I just set up my Mastodon account and right now only tumbleweeds are rolling around in my follower list. I'll start following you in the next few days when I stumble across your accounts, but I'm also happy if you follow me first :-) @mbuermann" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciences.social/@mbuermann

@isa_diek @ZazaZindel @Lisa_de_Vries Glückwunsch zum Posterpreis! 🎉

Our poster on educational aspirations of adult refugees will be displayed the whole week of the #DGSkongress2022 near the reception desk. Have a look and get in touch with us if you have any questions and/or comments :-) #DGS2022 #UniBielefeld

@pengzell @torkildl @ESR_news @ECSR_Soc We don't either - it's only 14 months in our case :D Interestingly, in the meantime I reviewed a paper which was submitted there in 2022 and now already got 4 reviews and a decision of the editor. It obviously depends heavily on the handling editor.

@torkildl @ESR_news @ECSR_Soc At this point, I'd like to know anyone who *doesn't* have a manuscript that's been languishing there for the last 20 months

@TrevonDLogan Mhh, but should I now trust advice from an academic not to trust advice from other academics? I am a little confused.

I’ve been an academic long enough to know this: There isn’t a single academic you should trust on relationship, self-care, or mental health advice. Not one.

@Raabe_Isabel @thijs_bol Really sad to hear, indeed. We ourselves can join the chat with 14 months into waiting for reviews and our last hopes were that an R&R would be faster but these hopes are kinda smashed now as well...

@Daniel_Laurison Here you go :-)

I don't think I've ever tweeted about my follower count before and I plan never to again but it's hard not to be at least a little invested in this milestone.

In case you're interested: I did some productive procrastination and translated my website to english, added new projects and additional information to past projects like posters and a recorded talk. Feel free to take a look & have a great weekend! :-) mbuermann.de
