The main message of Digital Senegal for Inclusive Growth is that broader use of productivity-enhancing technologies by households and enterprises can generate such jobs, including for lower-skilled people.

Die Kunst besteht d...
Cornelia Gresch stellt ethnische Disparitäten beim Übergang von der Primar- in die Sekundarstufe in Deutschland unter Vertiefung von drei Schwerpunkten in den Mittelpunkt: die Noten- und Empfehlungsvergabe von Kindern mit und ohne Migrationshintergrund, die Hintergründe der häufig hoch ausfallenden Bildungsaspirationen von MigrantInnen und deren Erklärungsbeitrag für den Übergang selbst sowie den Einfluss bundeslandspezifisch variierender rechtlicher Regelungen auf den Übergangsprozess. Datengrundlage bildet eine bundesweite repräsentative Studie unter gesonderter Berücksichtigung türkischstämmiger MigrantInnen und (Spät-)AussiedlerInnen.
