Researcher at European trade union institute. Interested in social inequalities, migration, and the future of work.https://bsky.app/profile/wzwysen.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/wzwysen.bsky.social/post/3mcwemgynik2sHappy to share new paper @ilr-rit.bsky.social on migrants in platform work. Using cross-national European data Agnieszka Piasna and I show that migrants are over-represented in ride-hailing and delivery, but not so much elsewhere. This is due to worse outside options. https://en.ilr-rit.org/article/pubid/23806/21 Jan 2026 09:35 +0000at://did:plc:z5gd7qx6o7euwftc7k5ooxzl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcwemgynik2shttps://bsky.app/profile/wzwysen.bsky.social/post/3ltk6hflffs2jFirst day at @sasemeeting.bsky.social , with interesting session on precarious work.

Where such jobs grew heavily the probability of voting leave was 12 pp lower than where it didn't grow.27 Mar 2025 15:48 +0000at://did:plc:z5gd7qx6o7euwftc7k5ooxzl/app.bsky.feed.post/3llenkof7q223https://bsky.app/profile/wzwysen.bsky.social/post/3llely7ll3k23Final session #RC28 starts with fascinating talk by Marlis Buchmann on the demand and supply of skills in Switzerland.

She shows that left behind children are impacted both by parents or wider family migrating, but only parental migration is associated with better educational outcomes - likely because financial means are more targeted27 Mar 2025 08:52 +0000at://did:plc:z5gd7qx6o7euwftc7k5ooxzl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lldwczbfq22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/wzwysen.bsky.social/post/3lldugu4s322vGreat start of the final day #RC28 with Elias Kruithof @brispo-vub.bsky.social presenting on intergenerational educational mobility of second generation migrants in Belgium - looking only at parental education can be misleading, as the relative education compared to context of origin matters27 Mar 2025 08:18 +0000at://did:plc:z5gd7qx6o7euwftc7k5ooxzl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lldugu4s322vhttps://bsky.app/profile/wzwysen.bsky.social/post/3llc6jc3vdc2xFinal talk of the day by Christoph Janietz on women in the pay structure in Dutch companies, showing under representation of women at the top of the within firm pay hierarchy #RC2826 Mar 2025 16:13 +0000at://did:plc:z5gd7qx6o7euwftc7k5ooxzl/app.bsky.feed.post/3llc6jc3vdc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/wzwysen.bsky.social/post/3llc4va32lk2jVery interesting presentation by @dirkwitteveen.bsky.social at #RC28 on the match between college majors and jobs in the US. What seems to matter most is getting into the occupation that matches degree, not as much the skills or whether you train further.26 Mar 2025 15:44 +0000at://did:plc:z5gd7qx6o7euwftc7k5ooxzl/app.bsky.feed.post/3llc4va32lk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/wzwysen.bsky.social/post/3llc3g2br722jGreat talk by @filippogch.bsky.social on the importance of family origin on wages in a comparative study of US, Italy, and Germany showing rather similar overall intergenerational inequality, but rather different mechanisms, #RC2826 Mar 2025 15:18 +0000at://did:plc:z5gd7qx6o7euwftc7k5ooxzl/app.bsky.feed.post/3llc3g2br722jhttps://bsky.app/profile/wzwysen.bsky.social/post/3llbnpyodvk22Nice presentation by Alessio Tomelleri at #rc28 on how having higher digital skills affects hiring intention.
