Congratulations on a successful thesis defense, Kevin Schönholzer!

Last Tuesday, Kevin Schönholzer defended his dissertation, which examines how differences in policy, like paid parental leave and educational expansion, shape education. He researched equalizing factors using cross-national multi-cohort data.

Kevin Schönholzer worked at the Jacob's Center for Youth Development in the SNF project «Understanding social gradients in education: A psycho-social-ecological framework» of Prof. Dr. Kaspar Burger. Kevin's studies include topics such as «Welfare State policy and educational inequality» (published in European Sociological Review), justifying unequal earnings in relation to educational expansion and relative educational position (currently in peer-review), and the links between educational expansion and educational outcomes (in peer-review).
