Modelling Social Segregation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a multilevel modelling approach to the analysis of social segregation in schools. Using data on free school meal eligibility it shows that the underlying variation between schools for the period 1994–1999 has increased. It also shows that the change is greater for selective than non-selective local education authorities (LEAs). It is suggested that the approach of this paper can be applied generally to the modelling of social segregation at institution level.

Modelling the Emergence and Dynamics of Social and Workplace Segregation∗
The relationship between social segregation and workplace segregation has been traditionally studied as a one-way causal relationship mediated by referral hiring. In this paper we introduce an alternative framework which describes the dynamic relationships between social segregation, workplace segregation, individuals’ homophily levels, and referral hiring. An agent-based simulation model was d...
متن کاملA Multilevel Modelling Approach to Measuring Changing Patterns of Ethnic Composition and Segregation among London Secondary Schools , 2001 - 2010
Multilevel binomial logistic regression has recently been proposed for the special case of statistically modelling the changing composition and segregation of two groups of individuals over two occasions among organisational units, enabling inferences to be made about the underlying social processes which generate these patterns. A simulation method can then be used to reexpress the model param...
متن کاملA response to Gorard on social segregation
We welcome Stephen Gorard's contribution, which gives us an opportunity to clarify some of the key issues in this important debate. Gorard makes the following points. The ®rst is that we come to the same conclusions as previous research. This is not in fact true; we provide a much more detailed breakdown of changes in segregation than before (e.g. at LEA level and by LEA characteristics), and t...
متن کاملAn Agent-based Microsimulation Framework For Investigating Residential Segregation Using Census Data
Social and urban structures are inherently complex and multidimensional. They do not arise from a single process, but from the multifaceted interplay of different social and economic processes. This is true for racial and residential/neighbourhood segregation which is the result of many factors, and its causes are not well understood. Over years, researchers have studied and measured the role a...
متن کاملSchelling's Bounded Neighbourhood Model : a systematic investigation
This thesis explores the role of modelling and computational simulation, in relation to social systems, with specific focus on Schelling’s Bounded Neighbourhood Model. It discusses the role of computational modelling and some techniques that can be used in the Social sciences. Simulation of social interaction consistently creates debate in the Social sciences. However, most models are dismissed...
