Policy responses Overcoming Factors in the Intergenerational Transmission of Inequalities

Objective

The project is designed to identify the challenges to society posed by the existence of intergenerational inheritance of inequalities (Aioli). The departure point of the project is an assumption that the transmission of inequalities, being a result of intersecting influences coming from the family of origin, community and society, constrains the achievement of EU strategic objectives. Social policy could - and partially at least - diminish the influence of IIofI.The analysis seeks to identify institutions and other relevant bodies which can help to strengthen the improvement of social mobility mechanisms. A multidisciplinary comparative study in policies and practices (with special attention paid to education) will be conducted in eight countries with different socio-economic-cultural context (BL, D, EE, FI, I, LH, PL, UK) to enable legitimate generalisation of project findings. The project focuses on interrelations between policies and practices exercised at the national (society) and the local (community) level targeted at spurring social mobility. Quantitative and qualitative methods will be implemented. Secondary analysis and new fieldwork will be conducted to achieve projects objectives.
