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.

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.

... 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

Kinderbetreuung: "Es ist eine empirische Tatsache: Kinder werden zur Randerscheinung"
Kinder verbringen viel Zeit in Kita und Schule, doch die sind รผberfordert. Der Soziologe El-Mafaalani erklรคrt, warum sich das nicht รคndert โ und Boomer die Rettung sind.
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.

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 Plรคne 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 mรผssen wieder zu Millionen auf die Straรen. Und an die Urnen.
