  Prior scholarship has documented and tried to explain growing inequalities in individual wealth holdings—especially between homeowners and renters—but has not considered the role of residential position in the rural-urban hierarchy. We estimate fixed-effect models of one’s rank in national net, housing and financial wealth distributions during the 2010–2018 period, based on Norwegian register data on prime-age individuals. We find dramatic geographic differences in trajectories of wealth accumulation that are strongly conditioned by tenure. Residing longer in a more urbanized area—especially in the central Oslo region—results in a substantially higher net wealth position only for homeowners. This result is driven overwhelmingly by their greatly superior gains in housing wealth over the period. By contrast, the net wealth and financial wealth positions for those who always rent are virtually indistinguishable across the hierarchy, regardless of duration of residence. Our evidence suggests that the positive correlation between earnings and rent levels across the rural-urban hierarchy yields this result.

  The 15-minute city theory has recently become a popular paradigm in urban development. It claims that everyone should have access to the essential services, facilities and green spaces within a 15-minute walk. This article tests this concept in Oslo, Norway using a mixed-methods approach, based on a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) analysis of accessibility, review of relevant plans, interviews with planners and a case study of the Hovinbyen area. The objective was to find out to what extent Oslo is a 15-minute city, and discuss how this concept can be integrated in urban planning strategies more generally. The study shows that the central part of Oslo is already a 15-minute city, and that several areas are transforming in this direction. However, many suburban neighborhoods have low accessibility scores, and, according to the plans, will likely not change much in the future. This article argues that the 15-minute city concept cannot serve as the main development strategy, but such an analysis can be useful as a diagnostic study or to assist planning in rapidly changing areas or city extensions. The concept can therefore be considered as a flexible tool to support other planning strategies that share the same goals and ambitions. Any interventions that such accessibility analyses suggest should be contextualized and developed in combination with other qualitative assessments and in partnership with local communities.

  This chapter reviews the literature on the causal effects of policies on fertility. It focuses on evidence from experiments and quasi-experiments in low fertility contexts, including studies from Europe, Northern America, Oceania, and Asia. Making no a priori restrictions on policy type, the review encompasses evaluations of parental leave, childcare, health insurance, and financial incentives such as child transfers. Childcare expansions increase completed fertility. Financial incentives had positive effects on fertility across contexts, both in the short and long run. Expansions of parental leave rights in Central Europe, and introduction of parental leave in the USA, also had positive effects. Distributional effects of these policies are very different, with parental leave compensation benefiting high-earning couples, while expansions of childcare programs have potential to reduce social inequalities. Publicly funded assisted reproduction can increase fertility for women over the age of 35.

  We investigate theoretically and empirically how urban residence contributes to interpersonal differentials in wealth accumulation trajectories through its interrelated influences on labour and housing market outcomes. On the basis of Norwegian register data, we estimate models of one's position in various national wealth distributions over the 2010–2018 period, employing fixed‐effects to reduce geographic selection bias and obtain plausibly causal estimates of the impact of moving between levels of the rural–urban hierarchy. We find that residing in a more urbanized area for a longer duration is strongly related to one's rank in the net wealth, housing wealth and financial wealth distributions. Differentials in net wealth growth among levels of urbanization are most dramatic for younger and higher‐educated individuals, with further advantages for those who settle in Oslo. Structural equation modelling reveals that these plausibly causal effects arise primarily through gains in housing equity and (to a lesser degree) in earnings and capital incomes, confirming our conceptual model.

  Building from debates about academic capitalism and universities’ adaptation to surrounding society, this article analyzes the vision and strategy documents of Swedish universities. Using Bacchi's What's the problem represented to be approach, we analyze how and to what extent such documents advocate for the adaptation of universities’ activities to the demands of surrounding society and market economy, and the societal and institutional problems such adaptation processes are considered to counteract. In all documents we find an externalization imperative, where universities plan for an adjustment of activities to the demands and interests of external actors. Primarily, this applies to their advocacy of a utility ideal, promoting the instrumentalization of knowledge and its transformation into tools for external actors’ goals and purposes. This adaptation process is partly articulated as responding to the problematic aspects of previous university ideals, understood as characterized by introspection and exclusion, partly as responding to overarching “societal challenges”, understood through sustainability discourse. In the article, we discuss these problem representations critically, contextualizing them in relation to knowledge capitalism and the postmodernization of knowledge.

  To what extent is the underrepresentation of ethnic minorities in politics due to ethnic bias? While this question has interested researchers for a long time, direct evidence of ethnic bias in party-controlled nomination processes is scarce. We conducted survey experiments with politicians and voters in Norway, where parties control the nomination process, to examine bias against ethnic minority candidates. The politicians evaluated candidate profiles with randomly assigned information about the candidates’ ethnic backgrounds. Contrary to our expectations, we find that ethnic minority candidates receive higher quality scores and better rankings than ethnic majority candidates. However, the results of a list experiment with voters show that a substantial share of right-wing voters has reservations against voting for a party list with many ethnic minority candidates. Consequently, our study suggests that while the political elite wants ethnically diverse party lists, for some parties, such lists might have an electoral cost.

  This paper explores the distribution of agency in forest science. Studies of forest science tend to view it primarily as seeking to control and exploit natural resources. But recent turns in social theory open for understandings of human-nature relations beyond human control. This paper explores what such insights can mean for the understanding of forest science. It asks how nonhumans and nonhumans interact in practices of forest science and together constitute certain forms of agency. How are the activities engaged in by students and lecturers affected by nonhumans? How do they respond to nonhumans? The empirical scope of this paper focuses interaction between students and lecturers at bachelor’s level. Fieldwork was carried out in June 2023 by joining students and lecturers on excursions. In-depth interviews with eleven students were also conducted. The paper observes how students and lecturers actively distanced themselves from the forest science of the past for ignoring the requirements of trees and the services of their surrounding environments. Indeed, lecturers repeatedly addressed preferences and performances of nonhuman beings. This had major implications for which decisions were available. The paper therefore suggests that nonhumans and humans interacted in numerous ways. Students and lecturers responded to trees, wildlife, soil, and climate. Nonhumans especially affected decisions related to logging and planting, thereby providing inescapable premises for the actions of forest science practitioners, and ultimately contributing to both enable and constrain agency. To conclude, the paper discusses a few limitations and implications of its findings. Forest science Forestry Nonhuman agency Biodiversity Climate change Soil

  In this article we interrogate how University of Sweden (UoS), the leading Work-integrated learning (WIL) university in Sweden, represents WIL publicly, discussing this in relation to higher education’s changing role within an increasingly knowledge-based capitalism, in which knowledge and research become subsumed under demands for market utility and student employability. Through analysis of WIL literature we distil a theory-practice ‘gap’ with spatial, institutional, epistemological and pedagogical dimensions that WIL as a field of educational practice tries to ‘bridge’. We use this conception to deconstruct how (UoS) presents WIL to potential students, partners, employers, and society at large. We find that while the university at the central level presents WIL as a synergistic and multi-dimensional activity that bridges the theory/practice divide to produce ‘advanced knowledge’ and employable students, the actual educational programs articulate WIL in a manner which privileges practical usability and employability over theoretical knowledge, in line with an academic capitalist focus on utility. Further, there is a significant difference in how vocational and academic programmes implement WIL. Whereas WIL components seem relatively easily integrated into professional programs present, academic programs must undertake advanced discursive manoeuvres to incorporate WIL’s principles into what would otherwise be quite theory-focused programs.

  This article examines the dynamics of the climate movement’s (CM) engagement within global civil society (GCS), focusing on how this relates to its evolving commitment to anti-colonial climate politics and the wider, ongoing tensions between actors from the Global North and South within the movement. Here, this article contributes with a theorization on how counter-hegemonic and anti-colonial social movement alliances can be forged in GCS, building from neo-Gramscian, post- and decolonial concepts. This theorization builds on a study of the COP26 Coalition’s efforts in Glasgow in November 2021, exploring how the coalition strategically utilized post-apocalyptic environmentalism to amplify Southern and anti-colonial perspectives within the broader CM and to carve out a space for such perspectives within GCS. However, this study also highlights how GCS spaces are shaped by a neo-colonial global hegemony which fosters structures of Northern epistemic dominance which often function to de-legitimize, exclude, or co-opt non-Western knowledges and movements within GCS.

  Focusing on the US experience, Beyond Economic Migration—a collection of texts written by a multidisciplinary group of migration scholars, edited by Min Zhou and Hasan Mahmud—asks how we can understand the drivers of population movement and how it has changed over time. The authors also ask how the incredibly diverse immigrant population in the US fares in the labor market, deals with the barriers they meet, and orient themselves in an increasingly interconnected world. Brought together, Beyond Economic Migration offers an updated and informative picture of important changes and developments in immigration to the United States. One major strength of the book is its multidisciplinarity. Another is that the analyzes presented draw on both quantitative and qualitative data sources, as well as including more theoretical contributions. This range of approaches is rare and valuable. I would highly recommend the book for scholars interested in getting an overview of current trends in patterns of immigration and integration, as well as a deeper understanding of the transnational connections that shape patterns of incorporation and mobility among the highly diverse immigrant population in the United States. Nonetheless, the empirical observations and analyzes stand out as more novel than the book’s theoretical advancements.

Mens integreringspolitikken historisk ble utviklet med tanke på arbeidsinnvandrere, har politikken gradvis blitt fokusert på flyktninger og deres familier.

  In 2022, Castán Broto warned that green investments in urban infrastructures, while releasing considerable public spending for urban climate mitigation and adaptation measures, risk to reproduce what twenty years before was called ‘splintering urbanism’ (Graham and Marvin 2001): the move away from modern infrastructural ideals in which infrastructure was designed to provide general services to the whole population. Analysing Green Deal initiatives, Castán Broto found a lack of 'infrastructural vision', which reinforces existing uneven and unjust distributions of infrastructural connections and their effects along the lines of socio-economic divisions. Besides, the revealed privatisation and financialization of infrastructure systems have exacerbated social and geographical inequalities in access and quality to basic infrastructures. In our contribution, based on a qualitative case study, we analyse a case of contemporary urban climate mitigation through infrastructure development, which helps us to understand how and why well-intentioned scientific and municipal interventions indeed contribute to the splintering effects described by Castán Broto. The case is Oslo's Furuset neighbourhood, which is one of nine pilot areas of the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (FME ZEN) and a testbed for new innovative energy solutions, combined with urban design. These climate mitigation interventions enjoy national and municipal support and meet a neighbourhood which has for many years been object of municipal and national concern for its high crime rates and and low socio-economic status. ZEN's main pilot activity is the installation of an innovative micro-grid for heat distribution, combined with a seasonal heat storage facility. Due to lack of compatible technology/infrastructure in existing buildings connecting to the new grid will require high investment costs. Thus, only new buildings will be connected to the new sub-grid. While the effects of this infrastructural innovation on the local population can not yet be studied empirically (the construction activities have just begun), it seems clear that the new technology introduces a splintering effect on the accessibility to sustainable and high quality infrastructure, where neighbouring buildings will be connected to different infrastructures with different environmental impacts. Parallel with these ongoing initiatives, Furuset's local residents and their representatives focus more on social sustainability, which historically has been the main focus of municipal policies, for example in the large-scale area-based programme “Grorudalssatsingen”, aiming at providing better living conditions for inhabitants in these housing estates from the 1960’s and 70’s. After six years of work with the planning and design of the pilot, the fact that their neighbourhood is a pilot for one of the major public investments in urban climate mitigation research is completely unknown to the local residents. In this paper, we analyse the genesis of this disconnect between the local sustainability agenda and the research based climate mitigation interventions, and discuss scenarios for possible effects of the splintering of the infrastructure and their determinants.

  This chapter reviews the literature on the causal effects of policies on fertility. It focuses on evidence from experiments and quasi-experiments in low fertility contexts, including studies from Europe, Northern America, Oceania and Asia. Making no a priori restrictions on policy type, the review encompasses evaluations of parental leave, childcare, health insurance, and financial incentives such as child transfers. Childcare expansions increase completed fertility. Financial incentives had positive effects on fertility across contexts, both in the short and long run. Expansions of parental leave rights in Central Europe, and introduction of parental leave in the U.S., also had positive effects. Distributional effects of these policies are very different, with parental leave compensation benefiting high-earning couples, while expansions of child care programs have potential to reduce social inequalities.

  Denne rapporten inngår som en del av forskningsprosjektet “Grønt partssamarbeid” i arbeidspakken “Kommunen som endringsaktør” ved Include – forskningssenter for sosialt inkluderende energiomstilling. Rapporten er et resultat av et samarbeid mellom forskere ved Universitetet i Oslo, Utdanningsforbundet, NITO, Fagforbundet og KS og undersøker utvalgte kommuners klimaarbeid, særlig knyttet til graden av medvirkning og partssamarbeid i innføringen av klima- og miljøtiltak på kommune- og virksomhetsnivå. Bakgrunnen for notatet er et ønske blant prosjektets samarbeidspartnere om å undersøke og løfte frem eksempler på hvordan klima- og miljøtiltak kan drøftes i det kommunale partssamarbeidet, i samsvar med formålsparagrafen i Hovedavtalen mellom KS og forhandlingssammenslutningene. Partene gjør det her klart at de er enige om at klima- og miljøtiltak som fremmer bærekraftsmålene, inngår som en del av partssamarbeidet.
