Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author), Hooimeijer, P. (author), Van Ham, M. (author), Meeus, W. (author)In the literature examining neighbourhood effects on educational outcomes, the socialisation mechanism is usually investigated by looking at the association between neighbourhood characteristics and educational attainment. The step in between, that adolescents actually internalise educational norms held by residents, is often assumed. We attempt...journal article 2016

Van Ham, M. (author), Tammaru, T. (author)Ethnic segregation has most often been studied at the place of residence, segregation being defined on the basis of the relative presence of different groups within city neighbourhoods. It is increasingly recognized, however, that segregation occurs in different ways in different domains (such as the workplace, leisure, social media, etc.), the...journal article 2016

Tammaru, T. (author), Strömgren, M. (author), Van Ham, M. (author), Danzer, A.M. (author)Contemporary cities are becoming more and more diverse in population as a result of immigration. Research shows that while residential neighborhoods are becoming ethnically more diverse within cities, residential segregation from natives has overall remained persistently high. High levels of segregation are often seen as negative, preventing the...journal article 2016

Van Ham, M. (author), Tammaru, T. (author)The term segregation has a strong connotation with residential neighbourhoods, and most studies investigating ethnic segregation focus on the urban mosaic of ethnic concentrations in residential neighbourhoods. However, there is now a small, but growing, literature, which focusses on segregation in other domains of daily life where inter-ethnic...journal article 2016

Zwiers, M.D. (author), Bolt, G. (author), Van Ham, M. (author), Van Kempen, R. (author)Neighborhood decline is a complex and multidimensional process. National and regional variations in economic and political structures (including varieties in national welfare state arrangements), combined with differences in neighborhood history, development, and population composition, make it impossible to identify an ideal-type process of...journal article 2016

Shrinking regions in a shrinking country: The geography of population decline in Lithuania 2001-2011Ubareviciene, R. (author), Van Ham, M. (author), Burneika, D. (author)Shrinking populations have been gaining increasing attention, especially in post-socialist East and Central European countries. While most studies focus on specific cities and regions, much less is known about the spatial dimension of population decline on the national level, and the local factors determining spatially uneven population change....journal article 2016

Kleinhans, R.J. (author), Van Ham, M. (author)In many European countries, community entrepreneurship is increasingly considered as a means to initiate small-scale urban regeneration. However, residents in deprived communities are often viewed to lack key entrepreneurial attributes and skills. This paper reports a unique experiment in the Netherlands with nascent community enterprises which...journal article 2016

Boschman, S.E. (author), Van Ham, M. (author)The selective inflow and outflow of residents of different ethnic groups is the main mechanism behind ethnic residential segregation. In many studies it has been found that ethnic minorities are more likely than others to move to high-ethnic-minority-concentration neighbourhoods. An important question which remains largely unanswered is whether...journal article 2015

Magi, K.A.D.I. (author), Leetmaa, K. (author), Tammaru, T. (author), Van Ham, M. (author)Most studies of the ethnic composition of destination neighbourhoods after residential moves do not take into account the types of moves people have made. However, from an individual perspective, different types of moves may result in neighbourhood environments that differ in terms of their ethnic composition from those in which individuals...journal article 2015

Musterd, S. (author), Marcinczak, S. (author), Van Ham, M. (author), Tammaru, T. (author)Socio-economic inequality is on the rise in major European cities as are the worries about that, since this development is seen as threatening social cohesion and stability. Surprisingly, relatively little is known about the spatial dimensions of rising socioeconomic inequality. This paper builds on a study of socio-economic segregation in...journal article 2015

The Moderating Effect of Higher Education on Intergenerational Spatial Inequality (discussion paper)De Vuijst, E. (author), Van Ham, M. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author)It is well-known that socioeconomic outcomes and (dis)advantage over the life course can be transmitted from parent to child. It is increasingly suggested that these intergenerational effects also have a spatial dimension, although empirical research into this topic remains scarce. Previous research from Sweden and the United States shows that...journal article 2015

Van Ham, M. (author), Tammaru, T. (author)The growing divide between rich and poor in European cities is leading to spatial segregation. Rich and poor are living further and further away from each other. This can have disastrous consequences for social stability and the competitiveness of cities, an internationally comparative study makes clear.journal article 2015

We outline key developments and pay attention to larger societal and...journal article 2015

Varady, D.P. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author), Van Ham, M. (author)Purpose - The global economic crisis has had a major impact on government spending for urban regeneration. In the context of these austerity regimes, in many European countries, community entrepreneurship and active citizenship are increasingly considered as a means to continue small-scale urban revitalisation.

Veldboer, L. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author), Van Ham, M. (author)Modern welfare policies are increasingly based on notions of reciprocity. Citizens on welfare benefits have to do something in return, e.g. volunteer work. Notwithstanding general public support, social philosophers have been critical on ‘mandatory’ activities in community programmes. So far, the participants themselves have scarcely been asked...journal article 2015

Ubareviciene, R. (author), Burneika, D. (author), Van Ham, M. (author)We use electoral data to analyze the ethno-political consequences that may arise from the fact that the region surrounding the city of Vilnius is dominated by residents with a Polish identity, while those who move to the suburbs are mainly ethnic Lithuanians. In the suburban ring we found increasing voting turnout, a decreasing share of votes...journal article 2015
