🆕 RFBerlin Discussion Paper: @yajnagovind.bsky.social, Jack Melbourne, @sarasgnr.bsky.social, and Edith Zink study whether and how the Danish "Ghetto Plan" affected targeted neighborhoods and their residents. www.rfberlin.com/network-pape...

Nouvelle étude de @yajnagovind.bsky.social @paolosantini.bsky.social & E. Derenoncourt confirme l’importance du facteur discriminatoire sur le marché du travail en 🇫🇷. Les minorités racisées subissent de fortes pénalités salariales. Être né.e en France réduit ces écarts, sans les faire disparaître.

Racial minorities in France face substantial earnings penalties - WID - World Inequality Database This study documents disparities in earnings and ranks across different minority groups in France and compare France with the US.

Racial minorities in France face substantial earnings penalties, with Middle Eastern/North African and Sub-Saharan African individuals most affected. This is one of the key findings of a new study by @yajnagovind.bsky.social @paolosantini.bsky.social & E. Derenoncourt.

Italy is holding a referendum on reducing residency for citizenship from 10 years to 5. It may well fail to hit the 50% turnout threshold (as most Italian initiatives do) as the right-wing parties are proposing an extension

Comparative data show that five years of legal residence is most common in Europe, eg France, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, UK, Ireland, and since 2024 also Germany.

Here a peek into soon-to-be-released updated @globalcit.bsky.social data:
