Subjective Inequality and Mobility in Comparative Perspectives I
Language: English
Proposals that examine and search for analytical strategies and methods for causal relationships between subjective inequality and social mobility are welcome. To this end, trigger questions are proposed that highlight elements of analysis relevant to the session, such as to what extent do subjective experiences of inequality converge with mobility or its expectations, or to what extent do class positions shape perceptions of perceived inequality? To what extent and how do education, race, gender and other factors play a role in shaping the relationship between subjective experiences of inequality and social mobility? Is there a relationship between the level of development of countries and the subjective perception of inequality? How does this relate to the level of social mobility? What implications can be derived for public policy?
The inclusion of a comparative perspective in the analysis of these relationships is relevant as it allows us to analyse the results, to analyse variability across different nations or regions, to identify patterns or trends that may go unnoticed in studies applied in a single location, and, finally to contextualise the results.
