Migration, Socioeconomic Resources, and the Stratification of Wellbeing. Part I: Earnings, Wealth and Discrimination

This session welcomes papers examining the relationship between wellbeing and education among young people, and how this relationship varies across socio-demographic groups, such as by gender, parental socio-economic status, or migration background. The focus is on how these two are associated among young people rather than educational differences in wellbeing among the general population. Wellbeing can be considered both from a subjective perspective as well as through objective measures such as mental health diagnoses. Education can be considered through achievement (test scores, grades), transitions and final attainment. We particularly welcome contributions that investigate these relationships over time, at either the individual or population level, and that shed light on mechanisms linking education and wellbeing in unequal ways.
