Web scraping requires no financial resources, is agnostic to epistemic divides in the field, reduces researcher bias, and increases transparency and replicability of data collection. As large providers of digital data such as Facebook or Twitter increasingly restrict access to their data for researchers, web scraping will become more important in the future and deserves its place in the toolbox of migration and mobility scholars.

Still relatively rare in the field, we use prospective individual-level panel data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) along with the higher quality income measures from the Cross-National Equivalent File (adjusting for taxes, transfers and household size). We observe severe chronic conditions (high blood pressure/heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or lung disease) at ages 30-56 (average age 43.1) for 4670 respondents who were also prospectively observed during childhood (i.e., at ages 0-17). Our analysis exploits within-region temporal variation in childhood Medicaid eligibility and adjusts for state- and individual-level controls. We uniquely concentrate attention on adjusting for childhood income. A standard deviation greater childhood Medicaid eligibility significantly reduces the probability of severe chronic conditions in adulthood by 0.05 to 0.12 (16\%-37.5\% reduction from mean 0.32). Across the range of observed childhood Medicaid eligibility, the probability is approximately cut in half. Greater childhood Medicaid eligibility also substantially reduces childhood income disparities in severe chronic conditions. At higher levels of childhood Medicaid eligibility, we find no significant childhood income disparities in adult severe chronic conditions.}, language = {en} } @article{Mackert2023, author = {Mackert, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Soziale Schließung}, series = {Politische Soziologie : Handbuch f{\"u}r Wissenschaft und Studium}, journal = {Politische Soziologie : Handbuch f{\"u}r Wissenschaft und Studium}, publisher = {Nomos}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {978-3-8487-4836-5}, year = {2023}, language = {de} } @article{VerwiebeBobzienFritschetal.2023, author = {Verwiebe, Roland and Bobzien, Licia and Fritsch, Nina-Sophie and Buder, Claudia}, title = {Social inequality and digitization in modern societies}, series = {SocArXiv : open archive of the social sciences}, journal = {SocArXiv : open archive of the social sciences}, publisher = {Center for Open Science}, address = {[Charlottesville, VA]}, doi = {10.31235/osf.io/k2zwh}, pages = {23}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The digitization process has triggered a profound transformation of modern societies. It encompasses a broad spectrum of technical, social, political, cultural and economic developments related to the mass use of computer- and internet-based technologies. It is now becoming increasingly clear that digitization is also changing existing structures of social inequality and that new structures of digital inequality are emerging. This is shown by a growing number of recent individual studies. In this paper, we set ourselves the task of systematizing this new research within the framework of an empirically supported literature review. To do so, we use the PRISMA model for literature reviews and focus on three central dimensions of inequality - ethnicity, gender, and age - and their relevance within the discourse on digitization and inequality. The empirical basis consists of journal articles published between 2000 and 2020 and listed on the Web of Science, as well as an additional Google Scholar search, through which we attempt to include important monographs and contributions to edited volumes in our analyses. Our text corpus thus comprises a total of 281 articles. Empirically, our literature review shows that unequal access to digital resources largely reproduces existing structures of inequality; in some cases, studies report a reduction in social inequalities as a result of the digitization process.}, language = {en} } @article{WiesboeckVerwiebe2023, author = {Wiesb{\"o}ck, Laura and Verwiebe, Roland}, title = {Sind Einkommensunterschiede zu groß?}, series = {{\"O}sterreichische Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Soziologie}, volume = {48}, journal = {{\"O}sterreichische Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Soziologie}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer VS}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {1862-2585}, doi = {10.1007/s11614-023-00514-6}, pages = {53 -- 66}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Im Zentrum dieser Forschungsnotiz steht die Frage nach der Bewertung von Einkommensungleichheit in der {\"o}sterreichischen Gegenwartsgesellschaft.

Individuals living in single-parent households were particularly at risk, revealing detrimental labour market outcomes and assessments of future perspectives marked by worries. As it has not been investigated yet, in this paper we study, how their perception about the future and their outlook on how the pandemic will affect them is related to their objective economic resources. Against this background, we examine the subjective risk perception of worsening living standards of individuals living in single-parent households compared to other household types, their objective economic situation based on the logarithmised equivalised disposable household incomes and analyse the relationship between those indicators. Using the German SOEP, including the SOEP-CoV survey from 2020, our findings based on regression modelling reveal that individuals living in single-parent households have been worse off during the pandemic, facing high economic insecurity. Path and interaction models support our assumption that the association between those indicators may not be that straightforward, as there are underlying mechanisms-such as mediation and moderation-of income affecting its direction and strength. With respect to our central hypotheses, our empirical findings point toward (1) a mediation effect, by demonstrating that the subjective risk perception of single-parent households can be partly explained by economic conditions. (2) The moderating effect suggests that the concrete position at the income distribution of households matters as well. While at the lower end of the income distribution, single-parent households reveal particularly worse risk perceptions during the pandemic, at the high end of the income spectrum, risk perceptions are similar for all household types. Thus, individuals living in single-parent households do not perceive higher risks of worsening living standards due to their household situation per se, but rather because they are worse off in terms of their economic situation compared to individuals living in other household types.}, language = {en} } @article{KohlerPost2023, author = {Kohler, Ulrich and Post, Julia Charlotte}, title = {Pulp Science?}, series = {Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft, Politik : GWP : Sozialwissenschaften f{\"u}r politische Bildung}, volume = {72}, journal = {Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft, Politik : GWP : Sozialwissenschaften f{\"u}r politische Bildung}, number = {4}, publisher = {Budrich}, address = {Leverkusen}, issn = {2196-1654}, doi = {10.3224/gwp.v72i4.09}, pages = {475 -- 483}, year = {2023}, language = {de} } @article{ApeltKochMichalowskietal.2023, author = {Apelt, Maja and Koch, Annika and Michalowski, Ines and Molzberger, Kaspar and Schenk, Liane and Schmidt, Max Oliver}, title = {How organisations regulate Muslim body practices}, series = {Comparative migration studies}, volume = {11}, journal = {Comparative migration studies}, publisher = {European Research Centre on Migration and Ethnic Relations}, address = {Utrecht}, issn = {2214-594X}, doi = {10.1186/s40878-023-00355-y}, pages = {19}, year = {2023}, abstract = {In a comparison of three human service organisations in which the human body plays a key role, we examine how organisations regulate religious body practices.

Our study looks for mechanism that explain how Human Service Organizations accommodate Muslim body practices. It draws on qualitative empirical data collected in state-run hospitals, schools and swimming pools in Germany. Our analyses show that the organizations draw on formal and informal rules at the organizational level to accommodate Islam. We identify five general organizational mechanisms that may hinder Muslim accommodation in human service organizations. In particular, we see a risk of decoupling between the expectation of religious tolerance and processes that lead to informal discrimination, driven mainly by the difficulty of controlling group dynamics among users.}, language = {en} }
