Ana Kujundzic and Janneke Pieters Win the IPUMS Research Excellence Award
We are pleased to announce that Ana Kujundzic and Janneke Pieters have been awarded the prestigious IPUMS Excellence in Research Student Award for their paper titled "Consistent Segregation Metrics: Addressing Structural Variations in Global Labor Markets."
The IPUMS Research Awards honor outstanding research that uses IPUMS data to deepen our understanding of social and demographic processes. The Excellence in Research Award recognizes innovative and comparative research that showcases the power of IPUMS data collections.
Their comments on the winning paper: ''This paper provides a new metric for measuring segregation that simply and intuitively isolates true changes in segregation from structural changes in labor markets. By aiding researchers in running studies of segregation that are comparable across a wide range of countries and time periods, this new tool makes a strong case for how international harmonized microdata can help provide important nuance to global changes such as economic development and gender segregation''
