Alessandro Toppeta (@sofi.su.se) shows that more school isn't always better: in Sweden, teens randomly tested after holidays show stronger non-cognitive skills, especially those from wealthier families. More breaks may boost development, but they risk widening inequality.

Xu shows, among other things, that the economic return on higher education is no longer increasing as clearly as before, and that this calls for fresh thinking around education and labor market policy.

Last Friday, our PhD candidate Xiaojie Xu defended her dissertation in sociology – congratulations, Xiaojie! 🎉
Her dissertation explores how the impact of education on jobs, income, and social mobility has shifted since the late 20th century.
Great work, Xiaojie!
