Job Opportunity! We're looking for a post-doc or late doc to join our team at @gesis.org and @konsortswd.bsky.social (hi @nfdi.de)! You'll work on enhancing comparability of German survey data across projects & disciplines. Strong German skills & interest in social structure required. Check it out:
Out now, with Melanie Partsch (UU) & Lennart Palm (NAKO): CASMIN Versus ISCED: Validating Standard Education Variables for German Microdata (open): link.springer.com/article/10.1.... Kindly supported by @konsortswd.bsky.social and @gesis.org. Research data centres @ratswd.bsky.social, check it out!
Wrong thread, I'm sorry! The UK system is a beast, I still don't get it either. There will be UK-based people who know much better.
I could become a professor then! 😂
Get in touch if you’d like to discuss any of this or if you have questions - the ESS work was never sufficiently pre-digested for data users I‘m afraid 🙈
In the end, Germany is a country obsessed with selection in education (@mafaalani.bsky.social termed this "Selektionswut" - selection-rage), but if all this selection does not enter sociological education measures, the resulting inequalities also "disappear". CASMIN is better for Germany than ISCED.
It's not - the tautological character just does not show in the figure.
... ESS (then round 1-2) data, which puzzled me so much as to motivate my dissertation. ES-ISCED was constructed to avoid just that, but if you aggregate this in the same way as ISCED, I would not expect any "better" results.
Interesting work (and thanks for the citations!). Maybe my 2010 paper would be a helpful reference since it systematically tries to look into aggregation error. I found, when I started working on my thesis, that Germany came out top when correlating parent and respondent education using
Happy and exhausted at #ESRA25, I'm learning so much. And so absorbed that I did not set up anything for dinner tonight! 🫣
We are looking for a consultant to provide us with expert advice on our employment questions in self-completion surveys.
Up to €10,000 is available for a consultant to help us in a review of employment items with high nonresponse.
The deadline for applications is Friday 23 July.
New paper with Julian Urban @gesis.org, using @ess-survey.bsky.social data, trying to find out how the ESS could go about measuring education when transitioning to self-completion mode.
I'm not sure I get how the graph relates to the text - could you please elaborate on this? Thanks!
Beim Thema Rente sind auch alle ganz toll im Weggucken.
Cancelled - I‘m sick 🙁
Und dazu passend @mafaalani.bsky.social . Ich kann das alles unterschreiben, als Soziologin u Mutter. Ich verstehe nicht, warum Schulen nicht mit Vereinen u Musikschulen kooperieren. Und erst recht nicht, dass demographischer Wandel u Investitionen in Bildung politisch nicht zusammen gedacht werden.
Danke für die klare Ansage, @mfratzscher.bsky.social . Ich hätte auch gerne zusätzliche Stimmen für meine Kinder.
Congratulations, again! :-)
💯 Sehr zu empfehlen!
Beim SLOW treffen sich viele Kolleg*innen von deutschsprachigen Surveys um über die praktischen Probleme des Alltags zu reden, z.B. Fragebogenentwicklung, Sampling, Datenaufbereitung, usw.
Auch ein paar meiner Kolleg*innen von SHARE sind dabei 😃
My institute is leaving X today! 🙌

I am so excited about this opportunity to present one of my main work areas for the last 5 years. Interested in social measurement or 'survey demographics', cross-study-comparability (even within one country), and strengthening the cumulative nature of research in the social sciences? Do attend!
Correctiv deckte vor einem Jahr die Pläne der AfD auf, Millionen Menschen auch Deutsche, aus dem Land zu vertreiben, Millionen protestieren. Heute haben die Rechtsextremen "Remigration" offiziell im Parteiprogramm als Ziel festgelegt. Wir müssen wieder zu Millionen auf die Straßen. Und an die Urnen.
Ein Rechtsextremer als Vorsitzender des Ausschusses für Bildung, Jugend und Sport? Das könnte übermorgen Wirklichkeit werden, wenn BSW, SPD und CDU Dr. Dominik Kaufmann (AfD) zum Vorsitzenden wählen. Bitte unterschreibt und leitet die Petition weiter.

Bei der Masse an Konferenzen wohl kaum ganz zu vermeiden… Wir brauchen aber mal nen GESIS-weiten Konferenz-Kalender!
Super! Leider zeitgleich mit der #GEBF in Mannheim😞
By now, the recording of the international launch is also available online: youtu.be/DKjLwWvGER8?...
It's a sad business. Enjoy the new life!
Wow, that's so much. Congratulations! How many hours do you work, may I ask, on research? I am happy if I manage to submit 1 paper per year, spending less than 5h/week on average on research. I have the same wish for every new year, including 2025.
Und: „Ruhezeit“ ist die Zeit, in der ich den vielen Verpflichtungen neben Erwerb und Kindern nachgehe: Steuer, Weihnachtsgeschenke, Betreuung in den Ferien planen etc. Muss ja auch irgendwann passieren #mentalload
