ECSR Thematic Workshop

Migration, Social Stratification and Inequality

March 14-15, 2019

Department of Social and Political Sciences, University of Milan

Via Conservatorio 7, Milan, Italy

Call for papers: ECSR – Migration and inequality

 

Research on social stratification and mobility and migration studies are both interested in the issue of inequality: both research streams are indeed concerned with the analysis of the impact of birth characteristics on life chances. This workshop aims to integrate these two areas of research, promoting and encouraging the dialogue between sociologists and labour economists interested in geographical mobility. Do the mechanisms of reproduction of social inequality work differently among migrants and their descendants? Have migrants worse life opportunities net of social class? How does such penalty change among migrants with different social origin?

The workshop addresses these issues encouraging contributions on the following topics:

  • migration status and social mobility;
  • migration penalty and labour market dynamics;
  • educational opportunities of the second generations;
  • family and migration dynamics;
  • migration, human mobility and social inequality.
