“…The social capital only positively influences migrants’ experience in education, employment, and other kinds of public service. Taking a close look at the attribute of each service content, elementary education and support for pioneer service are essential for one’s long-term development (Brueckner et al, 2020 ; Creusere et al, 2019 ), while medical care, insurance, and housing services are equity-oriented (Hanratty, 2017 ). Thus, the results further indicate that improvement in migrants’ social capital makes the provision of developmental public service more effective.…”

Does Social Capital Improve the Effectiveness of Public Service? An Insight from Rural-to-Urban Migrants in China

et al. 2022

Despite the extensive literature on the effectiveness of public service, measuring it from the user’s side among rural-to-urban groups is limited. Moreover, although rich research has explored the factors influencing the effectiveness of public service, in-depth micro-level analysis is scarcely addressed. The current study addresses these gaps by examining the relationship between social capital and the effectiveness of public service in Jiangsu province of China. Overall, the findings revealed that migrant’s social capital positively affects their perceptions of public service provision. Specifically, the structural dimension of social capital plays a role in expanding information channels. In contrast, the relational dimension of social capital works through shared norms and trust, eventually improving migrants’ fairness perception. Notably, these effects are more prominent in education, employment assistance, and minimum livelihood security than in other services. Further, the findings revealed that regional differences are more pronounced in the central part of the study area, where the current public service system is weak. Put differently; social capital can have a more significant effect when the construction of public service is constrained. It is also found that social capital plays a more important role for migrants working in the manufacturing industry than in other sectors. This study has significant implications for policymakers with a new perspective of social capital for improving the quality of public service and making it more available to migrants.

“…The UC is in many ways a reflection of the larger higher education landscape, as these demographic shifts are borne out across nationwide college admissions data (Cataldi et al, 2018). These shifts in the college-going population can produce upward economic mobility for low-income and traditionally underrepresented groups (Creusere et al, 2019), but these yields hinge on students being provided with the resources they need to graduate.…”

Healthy, Housed, and Well-Fed: Exploring Basic Needs Support Programming in the Context of University Student Success

Meeting college students’ basic needs is the goal of a new set of student success initiatives that address students’ urgent food, housing, or financial hardships in an effort to help them remain and succeed in college. Focusing on one California public university, we describe one such basic needs program, identifying the students who participate, their hardships and services received, and their retention over time. Students presented with issues in four main areas: food insecurity, mental health, multiple severe hardships, and need for one-time supports. In general, participants were retained at lower rates than the campus average, which is to be expected given their severe hardships. However, those who enrolled in the Supplementation Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) were retained at higher rates, on par with or higher than university-wide retention. California has amended SNAP regulations to waive work requirements for low-income students, making it easier for college students to qualify.

“…Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields are increasingly viewed as one way to open up opportunities for upward social mobility in the evolving U.S. economy (Arcidiacono, 2004; Creusere et al, 2019). With the growing importance of STEM education for career opportunities, researchers have predominantly documented that historically marginalized students in the U.S. are underrepresented in STEM fields because of structural inequalities with regard to STEM entrance and STEM-related college degree completion (e.g., Chang et al, 2014; McGee, 2016; Mensah & Jackson, 2018).…”

Complexifying Asian American student pathways to STEM majors: Differences by ethnic subgroups and college selectivity.

Despite growing diversity among Asian Americans, little attention has been given to the diverse experiences and outcomes of Asian American subgroups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Using a nationally representative data set, High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09), this study examines Asian American students' various pathways of entrance into STEM majors by college selectivity. Results show different patterns of STEM major selection among Asian ethnic subgroups that are not uniformly applied to all types of college selectivity, thereby revealing the heterogeneity within Asian American populations and suggesting the peril of the monolithic stereotype of Asian American students in STEM fields. Analyses further disclose that disparities of STEM major selection among Asian ethnic subgroups can be partially but not fully explained by high school math achievement.
