SCBs statistikdagen - Statistikens roll i en ny värld! Vi vill uppmärksamma er på detta kommande evenemang som anordnas av SCB. Evenemanget kommer att äga rum i Stockholm den 23 oktober. Årets statistikdag fokuserar på statistikens roll i en ny värld. Vad kan statistik göra för skillnad? Har statistiken en framtid, och i så fall vilken, för vem och hur? Hur används statistik idag, i morgon och i framtiden – i Sverige och världen? Programledare för dagen blir Augustin Erba, journalist och författare. Övriga talare presenteras löpande.

Hela uppsatsen kan läsas här (pdf). Juryn bestod av Nahikari Irastorza (Malmö), Weiqian Xia (Stockholm), Debora Birgier (Göteborg), och Inge Dahlstedt (Malmö). Juryns motivering: "The winning thesis compares school performance of migrants and native-born students in Finland. Based on PISA data from 2003 to 2018 and regression analysis, the author explores the development of the gap in PISA scores in math across time and among school age migrants who moved to Finland at different ages, the native-born children of immigrants and the native-born with Finish-born parents, and the compositional factors associated to the differences observed. This systematic analysis leads the author to conclude that there is a significant positive performance trend across generations, which is the main contribution to the literature. The thesis is clearly written, structured and well executed. All sections have been meticulously researched and communicated. The contextual background and literature review sections are very comprehensive and help the reader understand the findings of the study. The final discussion in the concluding section is an exceptional example of how to relate the findings of a study to the literature and the broader context in which the research is embedded" 2022.05.23 Vinnare av Svensk Demografisk Förenings uppsatstävling 2022 SDF gratulerar Tommy Andersson från Göteborgs universitet med uppsatsen Urbana dödsfällor? En jämförande studie av stad/landsbygd i Sverige år 1750-1900 med hänsyn till teorin "urban graveyard". Hela uppsatsen kan läsas här (pdf). Juryn bestod av Wossenseged Birhane Jemberie (Umeå), Sara Kalucza (Umå), och Lia Ma (SCB). Juryns motivering: "The winning thesis is a well-executed piece of independent research with a clear contribution. It demonstrates population development in two cities, Karlstad and Gävle, as well as two nearby rural areas, Alfta and Fryksände, during the period 1750-1800. It enriches our knowledge about how marriage, fertility, mortality, and migration may have contributed to the natural increase of population in urban and rural areas in different ways during the second half of the 18th century. It also uses an engaging language to connect previous literature and theory with historical data. Overall, the thesis is extremely well-written, and the presentation thereof is balanced, clear, and accessible to a non-expert. It awakens curiosity among its readers, and we find ourselves really wanting to know: was Gävle an urban graveyard?" 2021.12.16 Uppsatstävling 2022 Nu finns information tillgängligt om uppsatstävlingen 2022! 2021.06.04 Vinnare av Svensk Demografisk Förenings uppsatstävling 2021 SDF gratulerar Mingus Wass (Kulturgeografiska Instutionen på Stockholms universitet) till vinsten med uppsatsen "Residential segregation of poverty: A longitudinal study of socio-economic segregation in Stockholm County 1991-2016” (Master uppsats). Hela uppsatsen kan läsas här (pdf). I år bestod juryn av Anna Baranowska-Rataj (Umeå universitet), Gabriel Brea-Martínez (Lunds universitet), Jeanne Cilliers (Lunds universitet) och Johan Junkka (Umeå universitet). Totalt kom åtta uppsatser in. Juryns motivering: “The winning thesis is a topical and well-motivated quantitative exercise in validating and extending existing estimates of socio-economic segregation in Stockholm County for the period 1991-2016. The thesis goes further by systematically comparing common techniques for measuring segregation to inform a discussion on how sensitive these estimates are to the choice of method. It is thus a well-executed piece of independent research with a clear contribution. Overall, the thesis is extremely well-written, and the presentation thereof is balanced, clear, and accessible to a non-expert.” |
