Researchers from the HUCIAW -project have studied inequality and the potential long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on it.
HuCIAW investigates the role of human capital in shaping inequalities over the life course. The project aims to shed new light on the process of human capital formation during adolescence and adulthood, by examing three inter-related themes: sorting of young people across education pathways; interactions between different investments in human capital and the insurance role of human capital.
