Konietzka, Dirk, & Martynovych, Yevgeniy (2025). Educational disparities in place of residence. The urban-rural divide in six European countries from a social stratification perspective. Vienna Yearbook of Population Research 2025 [advance online publication] doi.org/10.1553/p-9g...
Abstract In recent years, many European countries have experienced growing disparities between urban and rural areas. These disparities are associated not only with differences in infrastructure, public goods and cultural provision, but also with heterogeneous demographic developments. In this paper, we intersect the perspectives of spatial demography, urban geography and social stratification by examining whether spatial inequalities between educational groups have increased in six European countries since the turn of the millennium. Analytically, we focus on (a) the educational composition of metropolitan and rural populations and (b) the residential patterns of educational groups. The empirical analyses using European Social Survey (ESS) data suggest that while there are no systematic changes over the two-decade study period, patterns of residential disparities differ considerably across the analysed countries. In particular, France and Sweden emerge as countries with significant differences in residential location between educational groups. At the same time, there is no evidence that the educational gradient of place of residence is stronger among the younger than the older age groups.

Vienna Yearbook of Population Research 2025 Special Issue: Population inequality matters (Book Cover) Guest editors: Miguel Sánchez-Romero, Michaela Kreyenfeld, Iñaki Permanyer, Vanessa di Lego The 2025 volume of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research highlights the role of population inequality in demographic research. Besides classical markers of heterogeneity in individual behavior, such as sex/gender, age, education, urban-rural residence and socio-economic status, other sources of inequality related to generational, environmental, and spatial factors are covered in the volume. Understanding population inequality is key for modeling population developments and projecting them into the future. Equally important is to understand how and why different types of inequality arise and evolve, and what policy challenges they impose for socio-economic development, welfare systems and social cohesion.

Peters, Steffen, & Barclay, Kieron (2025). Leadership skills and family formation among males. A study based on Swedish register data . Vienna Yearbook of Population Research 2025, online first 11/04/2025. doi.org/10.1553/p-kb...
Abstract Having leadership skills (LS) may increase an individual’s chances of ascending to a higher rank in hierarchical social structures, which can, in turn, provide the resources needed to support a partner and/or a child. Nevertheless, research on the association between LS and family formation processes (marriage, fertility) is scarce. We explore the prospective association between LS and marriage/completed fertility for 650941 Swedish males. Poisson regression and linear probabilitymodels are applied, including sibling fixed effects models. Our findings demonstrate a positive association between men’s LS, as measured at the age of assignment to military service (17–20 years), and their probability of marrying by age 39 or older (depending on the birth cohort). Furthermore, among the men in our sample, we find that LS are positively linked with the number of children, and are negatively linked with the probability of remaining childless. These associations are only partially explained by education and income.
