Transnationalisation and Changing Life Course Inequality in Europe
Summary
TransEurope identifies the impact of transnationalisation on life course inequality within selected European nations
- develop and compare macro-level measures of transnationalisation for use in comparative longitudinal life course studies;
- specify mechanisms of European transnationalisation’s impact on life course inequality;
- examine how institutions and social policies filter these mechanisms; and
- study individual-level responses to transnationalism’s effects at pivotal life course transitions.
Scientists from 7 European countries will network their interdisciplinary expertise through intensive workshops, exchanges and a research school to create theoretical, methodological, and policy-related innovations regarding transnationalism’s European consequences.
Duration
