Here you can see how relative time budgets differ between working students who see themselves as ‘workers‘ vs ‘students‘.
The largest difference can be seen in 🇫🇮 Finland and 🇸🇪 Sweden: ‘workers’ time budget is higher by 23% compared to ‘students’ time budget of a typical week.
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭👋
The EUROSTUDENT consortium is meeting this week, hosted by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO). We're discussing the activities of the final stage of EUROSTUDENT 9 and the road to EUROSTUDENT 10.
Thanks to everyone who joined EUROSTUDENT Talks on social justice & student funding in the EHEA today – plenty of intriguing questions were raised!
The recording will be available once the related research paper is published.
EUROSTUDENT Talks is off for a summer break now. See you in September! 👋
Students across countries spend approximately 90% of their monthly expenses on living costs. In 🇫🇮 Finland, 🇩🇰 Denmark, 🇸🇪 Sweden, and 🇪🇪 Estonia, that share reaches 96% or even more — largely because so few students pay tuition fees.
In the Nordic countries, fee-paying students make up 3% or less.
Did you know that certain higher education institution types tend to be socially selected?
For example, institutions with very high student–staff ratios tend to enroll more students from affluent, highly educated family backgrounds than better-staffed HEIs.
📣 Join the next EUROSTUDENT Talks on June 18 to explore student funding in the EHEA through the lens of social justice.
Amanda Abeysinghe & Christoph Gwosć (DZHW) will present findings from their recent analysis.
