Kommentar

The subject of this seminar is a reflection of social inequalities over the life course from an intersectional and in a cross-national perspective. We will start with a general introduction to different dimension of inequality: e.g. gender, race/ethnicity, social class. Subsequently, we will focus on the following topics: education, labor market entry, mobility, unemployment, and wages. By means of international comparison, we will examine and discuss the important role of labor market and welfare institutions in shaping life courses and inequalities. A central learning goal for this seminar will be to confront research question, theoretical foundations and empirical analyses with each other.
