Die Regierung plant, wegen der hohen Preise bei Lebensmitteln, Energie und Wohnen Maßnahmen zu setzen. Warum das für einkommensschwache Haushalte eine gute Nachricht ist, die von den hohen Preisen am meisten betroffen sind, zeigt @alexanderwhuber.bsky.social vom @ineq-wu.bsky.social hier ⬇️

Die Inflation trifft derzeit Haushalte mit wenig Einkommen stärker - und das auf mehreren Ebenen:

1. Ihre persönliche Inflationsrate ist höher
2. Ihre Teuerung wird stärker von Grundbedürfnissen getrieben (keine Ausweichmöglichkeit)
3. Sie verlieren mehr % vom Einkommen

Was ist gerecht? Chancengerechtigkeit messen heißt auch Werte... Wenn sich wissenschaftliche Indikatoren für Chancengleichheit widersprechen, ist das kein Fehler – sondern eine Einladung, als Gesellschaft über unsere Werte zu sprechen.

What else the INEQs are working on: An article by @moritzhoerl.bsky.social on the measurement of equal chances.💡

Last session today!

Today!!

This semester, I have again the honour of hosting an R-tutorial for anyone interested in the basics and some advanced codes. @wuvienna.bsky.social

Hello BlueSky!

We are happy to launch the LONDON INEQUALITY NETWORK (LIN).

The network is an initiative to foster interactions across UK-based researchers working on inequality. We organize an academic workshop once a term to enhance connections and collaborations across the network.

Today I had another opportunity to present my Master's thesis at the @arbeiterkammer.bsky.social in Lower Austria and received some enlightening comments! Thank you very much for the invitation!

Results are pinned in my profile.

⚡ATTENTION⚡

I am very sorry, but I have to cancel today's tutorial session due to illness. I hope this message reaches you in time! Today would haven been about the R script basic_functions from my repository. You can go through on you own, if you want. See you next week!

Also they can attend the next 3 sessions from 18-20 :).

Yes! In the comments below, you can find a link to the repository and to Matthias Schnetzers git page, where they can replicate all of his visuals. But I am still working on making the tutorial brand new for the next semester. For this semester I stick to the materials from the former Tutor. :)
