A Berlin court has ordered X to grant researchers API access under the Digital Services Act. Daniela Alvarado Rincón, Simone Ruf and Jürgen Bering explain how they won the case, and why it’s a major step for researcher data access.

Most segregation research examines neighborhoods, schools, or workplaces separately. But do individuals' exposure align across domains and persist over the life course? We fill this gap using 27 years of 🇸🇪 data.

Output of a group-based trajectory model. Panel A presents the yearly median values for the trajectories of exposure to affluence in the neighborhood, school, and workplace, broken down by the trajectory groups. Panel B displays the distribution for each of the GBTM groups by the 1990 household income percentile.
While social exposure clearly follows a socioeconomic gradient, our trajectory clustering reveals that 17% of low-income origin individuals are highly exposed to affluence and show better outcomes than their lower-exposed peers (/!\ this is purely associational). (4/5)
Trajectories of exposure to affluence (top, Panel A) and poverty (bottom, Panel B) in the neighborhood, school, and workplace. The trajectories show the median value for a given year, broken down by the household income quintile in 1990 (yellow is first quintile, purple is last quintile) when the cohort was aged around 16.
Second, social exposure follows a clear U-shape over time, with initial increase in poverty exposure after leaving home followed by a convergence back to origin levels (with opposite trends for affluence, ↘️ then ↗️), especially among high-income individuals. (3/5)
Measures of cross-domain correlation for exposure to affluence for individuals registers in multiple domains in a given year. Levels of exposure to affluence are correlated across all life domains. Notation: Work = Workplace; Uni. = University; Upp. = Upper secondary school; Comp. = Compulsory school; Nbhd. = Neighborhood
We measure social exposure as the share of top- and bottom-income individuals in each domain at the individual level.
First, we find high levels of socioeconomic homogeneity across life domains, with strong cross-domain correlations at each point in time and over individuals' life course. (2/5)

📢 In this Social Forces article, I introduce occupational elitism as a novel measure of social closure: the share of upper-class background workers within an occupation.
Its consequences for earnings stratification can be examined using a social closure theory lens.

Parental education is still key, but proximity reduces the gap a little: kids from less educated families gain most from living close to a university.
👉 Bottom line: geography shapes aspirations and can reinforce inequality.
