Widening Digital Divide: Family Investment, Digital Learning, and Educational Performance of Chinese High School Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic School Closures
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic and school closures highlighted the need for research examining the effects of socio-economic status and digital learning on educational performance.

The results showed that digital learning significantly mediates the association of socio-economic status with educational performance.

Living Alone in the City: Differentials in Subjective Well-Being Among Single Households 1995 –2018
AbstractOver the past decades, the number of single households is constantly rising in metropolitan regions. In addition, they became increasingly heterogeneous.

Based on five waves of the Viennese Quality of Life Survey covering almost a quarter of a century (1995 –2018), we analyse six domains of subjective well-being (satisfaction with the financi...
