Purpose
This course brings together various areas of investigation in the broader field of social stratification. Inter-relationships between education, labour markets, family and health are discussed. Questions that can guide our discussions are, for example, why education is rewarded in labour markets, how different societies enable work-life balance, and how health trajectories over the life course are socially stratified. The seminar discusses state of the art papers, and participants are encouraged to actively connect their own research interests to the social stratification literature. We will discuss main theoretical approaches, and state of the art methodological contributions in life course analysis, cross-national comparative research, and experimental research, to allow researchers to develop their own ideas in order to bring innovation to the field.
