Didier Ruedin is a senior researcher at the Swiss Forum for Migration and Population Studies at the University of Neuchâtel.
How do social inequalities and exclusion develop as a consequence of migration?
I use experiments and quantitative analysis to examine discrimination in the labour and housing market, attitudes to foreigners, and political reactions in policies and political debates: how potential conflicts become politicized. In this context, I measure party positions on immigration.
