Despite low fertility, Europe still taxes its own reproduction

By Pieter Vanhuysse, Robert Iván Gál & Márton Medgyesi
Over the working life, parents in Europe contribute on average about one-quarter fewer net taxes than non-parents. However, if taxes, private time and money are all taken into account and measured in comparable units, it shows that parents contribute over two-and-a-half times more than non-parents.

Beyond Overestimation: Refining Migrant Data for a True Picture in Sweden

This study examines to what extent international migrants were overcounted in population data in Sweden from 2003 to 2016. It finds that, in general, overcounting was relatively low in this period. However, there are discrepancies across socio-demographic groups.

QuantMig Teaching Materials

What is migration uncertainty? How do people decide where to migrate to? And how does expert knowledge on migration translate into policy alternatives? These are just a few of the questions that students will explore in the new Migration & Migration Uncertainty teaching materials. Over the five lessons, not only will students examine global migration patterns, but they will also dive deeply into the dynamics at play in a singular country and compare their findings with those of their peers.
