Comments
This seminar will investigate how families generate and shape social inequality in a variety of outcomes and how the life course paradigm can help us to understand this complex process. It unites literature from intergenerational inequality research, life course and family sociology. The seminar will start with an introduction to intergenerational inequality research and the life course paradigm in social sciences, by concentrating on main theoretical discussions and empirical findings. It will also offer an overview over different empirical models and data sources (with an emphasize on quantitative research designs). In addition, it will discuss the importance of different life course stages, the role of family types, siblings and multiple generations for the transmission of intergenerational inequality. The seminar finishes with an exploration of different dimensions of intergenerational inequality, namely family formation, labor market and health behavior. The focus of the seminar will be on intergenerational inequality in Germany, but it will contrast and compare the German case to other countries. close
