Education and Social Inequality: Recent Methodological Developments

Saturday, 21 July 2018: 08:30-10:20
Location: 718B (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC28 Social Stratification (host committee)
RC04 Sociology of Education
RC33 Logic and Methodology in Sociology

Language: English

Education can be viewed as both the outcome of inequality and the source of inequality.  Inequality of educational opportunities has been a persistent theme among sociologists of education (RC04).  Scholars in RC28 (social stratification) have always been fascinated by the role of education in generating social inequality.  Education imparts skills and productivity and affects inequality in occupational status and income. Quantitative methodologists as represented in RC33 (logic and methodology) are expected to contribute to the theme of education and inequality by taking up the measurement issue of educational attainment and various aspects of social inequality and by identifying the causal effect of education on socio-economic outcomes.  Methodological innovations are critical to the understanding of the relationship between education and inequality.
