Towards a Comparative Analysis of Social Inequalities between Europe and Latin America

This open access volume identifies the common and specific aspects of social mechanisms that generate inequalities, through comparative analyses of different dimensions in which inequalities are expressed. It includes studies on social inequalities in 5 European and 5 Latin American countries, along 11 thematic axes: inequalities in the labour market and labour trajectories; asymmetries in the relationship between training and employment; inequalities in work and family life; educational inequalities; geographical and social inequalities: ethnicity and language; social inequalities, migration and space; uncertainty, strategies, resources and capabilities; inequality of opportunity: intergenerational social mobility; social policies; gender inequalities; and research methodology. This volume is the result of a large collaborative project on social inequality funded by the European Commission: the International Network for Comparative Analysis of Social Inequalities. Taking into account diverse perspectives and approximations, the collaborators have created a general analytical framework as a model of analysis of social inequalities. The various contributions in this volume help readers gain a global outlook and help reflect on social inequalities in a comparative perspective. This volume addresses social science graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, social policy makers, as well as a broader academic audience interested in social inequality.-- Provided by publisher Front Matter ....Pages i-xxiii Front Matter ....Pages 1-1 A General Model for the Comparative Analysis of Social Inequalities Between Europe and Latin America (Pedro López-Roldán, Sandra Fachelli)....Pages 3-34 Social Models for Dealing with Inequalities (Antonio Martín-Artiles, Eduardo Chávez-Molina, Renata Semenza)....Pages 35-61 Front Matter ....Pages 63-63 Comparing Inequalities in the Labour Market from a Segmentation Perspective (Pedro López-Roldán, Renata Semenza, Agustín Salvia)....Pages 65-104 Education and Inequality in Finland, Spain and Brazil (José Saturnino Martínez García, Eriikka Oinonen, Rafael Merino, Graziela Perosa)....Pages 105-140 Digital Revolution and Sociocultural Change (Fausto Miguélez, Jordi Planas, Paulina Benítez)....Pages 141-167 Front Matter ....Pages 169-169 The Measurement of Social Stratification: Comparative Perspectives Between Europe and Latin America (Emmanuelle Barozet, Marcelo Boado, Ildefonso Marqués-Perales)....Pages 171-202 Social Mobility from a Comparative Perspective Between Europe and Latin America (Sandra Fachelli, Ildefonso Marqués-Perales, Marcelo Boado, Patricio Solís)....Pages 203-234 Migration and Social Mobility Between Argentina and Spain: Climbing the Social Hierarchy in the Transnational Space (Laura Oso, Pablo Dalle)....Pages 235-264 Changes in Economic Inequality in Europe and Latin America in the First Decades of the Twenty-First Century (Agustín Salvia)....Pages 265-292 Front Matter ....Pages 293-293 Theoretical-Methodological Elements for Comparative Analysis of Social Inequalities in Life Courses (Leticia Muñiz, Joan Miquel Verd)....Pages 295-329 Social Times, Reproduction and Social Inequality at Work: Contrasts and Comparative Perspectives Between Countries (M`rius Domínguez-Amorós, Leticia Muñiz, Gabriela Rubilar)....Pages 331-359 Recent Evolutions of Gender, State Feminism and Care Models in Latin America and Europe (Julie Jarty, Karina Batthyány)....Pages 361-385 Front Matter ....Pages 387-387 Unemployment Benefits: Discursive Convergence, Distant Realities (Antonio Martín-Artiles, Vincenzo Fortunato, Eduardo Chávez-Molina)....Pages 389-417 Pension Systems Compared: A Polarised Perspective, a Diverse Reality (Patricia Scarponetti, Leandro Sepúlveda, Antonio Martín-Artiles)....Pages 419-451 Front Matter ....Pages 453-453 By Way of Summary: Substantive Contributions and Public Policies for Dealing with Social Inequalities (Sandra Fachelli, Pedro López-Roldán)....Pages 455-480
