A new report from the University of Sheffield has revealed the parts of Great Britain where disabled people are least likely to find work compared with non-disabled people. The study highlights striking differences across the country, exposing how geography shapes job prospects for disabled workers.

Why Companies Take Political Stands

100% Right coverage: 1 sources

In 2016, PayPal scrapped plans for an operations center in North Carolina after the state passed its controversial “bathroom bill.” In 2022, Disney publicly criticized Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. These actions show a growing trend: big companies weighing in on divisive political issues. At first glance, this seems puzzling. Taking a political stand can upset customers, investors, and employees, all of which could hurt a company’s bottom line.…See the Story

Urban Sprawl Hurts the Poor and Deepens Inequality

Urban sprawl isn’t just bad to look at—it may also trap low-income families in poverty and widen racial inequalities. Research from the University of Utah shows that people raised in sprawling suburbs have fewer opportunities to climb the economic ladder compared to those from denser neighborhoods. Sprawl, the studies explain, separates homes, jobs, and schools into far-flung zones, forcing residents to rely on cars and reducing access to work a…See the Story

Study Finds That Women Still Do More Housework

A new study from the University of Alberta shows that women continue to take on most household chores even after decades of marriage. The research, which tracked 520 people (split evenly between men and women) over 25 years, found that gaps in housework that exist early in relationships rarely close. The study reveals that women do more domestic work than men from as early as age 25, and this imbalance stays the same into middle age. Women’s wor…Edmonton, Alberta · Edmonton Read Article

The High Cost of Hiding Knowledge

Creativity drives innovation and boosts organizational success. But when employees keep valuable knowledge to themselves, they don’t just harm their coworkers—they also stifle their own creativity. A study from BI Norwegian Business School shows that this behavior can hurt individuals and teams, though the impact depends on the workplace culture. Employees who hoard knowledge often find themselves excluded from the loop. When coworkers realize s…Innovation · Slovenia Read Article

How Media Shapes Immigration Views

Immigration has become a polarizing topic, especially during crises like the 2015 European refugee influx. Research from the University of Exeter examines how media coverage influences public attitudes toward immigration, focusing on French television from 2013 to 2017. The study shows that increased coverage of immigration pushes people with moderate views toward the extremes—either strongly for or against immigration. This polarization stems f…Immigration · Exeter Read Article

Lack Of Information Affects Trust At Work

Even when an agreement satisfies the legal definition of consent, individuals may not feel they have genuinely given it, according to new research from Cornell University. This disconnect can harm employees’ trust in their organization and influence their decisions to stay or leave. The study highlights a “perspective gap” between those who seek consent and those who give it. Solicitors often overestimate how well-informed the other party feels,…Read Article

How Class Affects Academia

In a world where fairness and opportunity are cherished ideals, a new study from Stanford sheds light on how socio-economic background shapes who gets to climb the academic ladder in the United States. Despite decades of progress in higher education, academia remains dominated by those from wealthier backgrounds. The study, based on the most comprehensive dataset of U.S. academics to date, finds that individuals from poorer families have been se…Stanford · United States Read Article

A Divided City, A Moving People: Why Hong Kongers Are Leaving

In 2019, protests against an extradition bill shook Hong Kong. A year later, Beijing imposed the National Security Law and changed the city’s electoral system to tighten control. These moves clamped down on dissent, targeting pro-democracy groups, media, and political parties. Many leaders and activists were arrested. These changes sparked a wave of migration. Between January 2021 and March 2023, over 172,500 Hong Kongers applied for British Nat…Hong Kong · Hong Kong Read Article

Human Rights Advocacy in a Polarized World

How can human rights groups call out government abuses without being seen as racist or fueling prejudice against diaspora communities? A study from the University of Notre Dame explores this tricky balance between advocating for rights and avoiding accusations of bias. When groups like Amnesty International publicly criticize governments—often called “shaming”—their reputation for fairness is at stake. If their criticism seems racist, it can har…Read Article

The Role of Board Diversity in Fighting Climate Change

Extreme weather and record-breaking heatwaves are no longer rare—they are becoming the norm. Most people now recognize the reality of climate change and accept that human activity plays a major role. This shift has reshaped priorities in the business world, where terms like corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) have become common. ESG, in particular, is now a key measure of how sustainably a compan…Heatwaves · London See the Story
