Understanding how the interplay between place of birth and social class of origin affect the intergenerational reproduction of inequalities
About
The GEOSMINE (Geography of Social Mobility in Europe) project studies the interplay between place of birth and class of origin in affecting later socio-economic outcomes. The core research question of the project is: how does being born to a disadvantaged family located in area A rather than area B affect individual chances of climbing the educational and occupational ladder and socio-economic outcomes, more in general?
The project is based at Comparative Life Course & Inequality Research Centre – CLIC of the European University Institute and benefits of the collaboration with many of its members.
Financed by the European University Institute Research Council
