PremLife investigates what factors provide protection and increase resilience for preterm children’s life course outcomes. Preterm birth is an increasingly important cause of inequality in Europe.
Incidence rates and survival after preterm birth have increased while rates of adverse outcomes across the lifespan remain. The project considers protective/resiliency factors at the individual, micro-system (family and peers) and macro-system (countries) levels.
LIFETRACK aims to answer the following question: how and why do different educational systems, and in particular their various modes of educational tracking and sorting, influence the formation and reproduction of social inequalities over the life course?
The project considers long-term consequences of tracking for final educational attainment and labour market outcomes. Thereby, it seeks to disentangle the social mechanisms behind inequality formation in general and inequality dynamics with respect to socioeconomic origin in particular.
EQUALLIVES analyzes how education, labor market and family choices interact to structure accumulated advantage and disadvantage over the life course.
We focus on key turning points in early adulthood, examine their interrelation and explore the cumulative impact on individual and group inequalities.
We explore how cross-country economic and institutional differences affect inequality outcomes and life courses.
