Study: Changes in the socioeconomic situation of Canada’s Black population (Statistics Canada)

Moving on up: ‘first in family’ university graduates in England (Oxford Review of Education)
This paper finds “first in family” (FiF) university graduates in the UK are less likely to graduate from elite universities and are at greater risk of dropout in general. It also finds FiF students are more likely to study Law, Economics and Management.
Risk, resilience, and rebuilding communities: The state of Ontario nonprofits three months into the pandemic (Ontario Nonprofit Network)
Three months into the COVID-19 crisis, Ontario’s non-profits and charities face new challenges and more uncertainty. The impacts on the sector, its workers, volunteers and the communities they serve are becoming more pronounced as the economic crisis deepens.

Parker Dewey surveyed over 3,000 students currently enrolled for the fall semester to understand how they want to engage with prospective employers.
