Vieraskielisten toimeentulotuen saajien määrä on kasvanut hyvin vähän 2017-2024, oikeastaan vain ukrainankielisten verran. Samaan aikaan vieraskielinen väestö on kasvanut. Vieraskielisten osuus toimeentulotuen saajista on kasvanut, koska kotimaisia kieliä puhuvien tuen saajien määrä on pienentynyt.

10 vuotta sitten julkaisemani analyysi maahanmuuttajien sosiaaliturvaoikeuden rajoittamisen tausta-argumenteista on edelleen ajankohtainen. (Toki voisi täydentää uudempia tutkimusviitteitä.)

Thanks. I was wondering how similar the analysis is to a soon-to-be-published comparison of socioeconomic segregation in selected European capital regions. But you have an impressive number of cities (and countries), whereas that comparison focuses on _change_ in fewer regions. Stay tuned for that!

I wish I could see that figure more clearly. Can any details about the study be shared here?

Toimeentulotuesta korvattavien asumismenojen lainsäädäntö muuttui 1.4.2024, minkä seurauksena Kela ohjasi kotitalouksia etsimään edullisempaa asuntoa.

Kuudesosa muuttamaan ohjatuista muutti, ja asuntoonsa jääneiden taloudellinen tilanne tiukentui.

Tarkemmin:
tietotarjotin.fi/tutkimusblog...
Kuvio: Muuttaneiden osuus 10 kuukauden seuranta-aikana kotitalouksilla, jotka olivat saaneet toimeentulotukea huhti–heinäkuussa 2024. Kuvasta näkee, että muuttamaan ohjatuista kotitalouksista vajaat 15 % muutti seurantajakson aikana.

New research from the @sustageable.fi consortium: ”Our main finding is that well-executed integration measures can improve the labor market attachment of immigrants, speed up the process of entering employment, and improve the quality of attained jobs.”

Academic studies consistently show that access to citizenship has positive effects. Immigrants who become citizens experience lower unemployment, earn higher income, less likely to be overqualified for jobs & experience stronger sense of belonging

🚨 “Good Description” with @annagbusse.bsky.social 🚨

What sets 'good' description apart from 'mere' description?

We develop a framework for evaluating descriptive research, whether we are doing it as scholars or assessing it as readers.

Itäblokin maillahan taisi aikoinaan olla Trumpin kaipaama järjestelmä eli bilateraalinen kauppa. Wikipediasta: ”Tavoitteena oli, että kumpikin maa vaihtoi tarkasteluajanjaksolla arvoltaan yhtä suuren määrän tavaraa, joten kaupan tase pysyi automaattisesti tasapainossa.”

Nice article on population projections, making the point that one problem with population panics is that it’s incredibly difficult to predict population trends. Implementing drastic policy solutions on the basis of long-term population projections is therefore not a good idea

Experts were wrong about overpopulation before. Could they be wrong about underpopulation now?

A French scientist was denied entry into the US because he expressed a negative opinion of Donald Trump and his policies

The US is NOT safe for researchers anymore

I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few months from now, several countries officially discourage their citizens from visiting the US

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones.

Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.
