Comments
This lecture offers an introduction to social structure analysis. It will provide an overview of similarities and differences in the social structure of EU countries. The lecture consists of three major blocks: The first block focuses on the central terms and concepts of social stratification (e.g. what is the relationship between social structure and social inequality? What is social inequality?). This is followed by a detailed review of the central theoretical perspectives and debates. The second block focuses on selected dimensions of the social structure, such as demographic development, household and family structures, educational systems, or the structure of the labour force. The final, third, block is concerned with the central dimensions of social inequality in modern societies, such as education, employment, occupational prestige, income, and poverty and material deprivation.
