The familisation of student finance
This article explores how university students in England navigate intensifying financial pressures driven by rising living and housing costs and declining state funding in the form of maintenance loans. Drawing on qualitative data from focus group interviews with university students in a city with a highly competitive housing market, our research examines the lived experiences and coping strategies of students and the role of family finance in sh…
Same class, different work conditions
According to a long-standing literature, workplace conditions and inequalities are rooted in occupational class relationships. However, little is known about how key elements of work conditions – autonomy and authority in the workplace – are distributed between occupational class in different contexts. Utilizing data for over 200,000 employees across 26 European nations, this study shows that there are large differences across countries in both t…
Cross-Class Embeddedness through Family Ties and Support for Income Redistribution
There is long-standing evidence within the literature of class cleavages in social policy preferences. We re-evaluate class cleavages in support for redistribution by specifically focusing on the role played by cross-class embeddedness: the idea that individuals can be embedded in multiple social classes through family ties. Stronger affinity to the working class is hypothesized to be associated with stronger support for redistribution. We constr…
Social status inequality and depression in Europe
It is theorized that income inequality is an indicator of status inequality and should therefore be associated with adverse health outcomes. In this article, we propose a novel way to capture status inequality more directly by measuring the distribution of self-perceived status in a society. We investigate whether status inequality in a society is associated with depression in the population. We show, first, that there is only a moderate associat…
Occupational Social Class and Earnings Inequality in Europe
While there is renewed interest in earnings differentials between social classes, the contribution of social class to overall earnings inequality across countries and net of compositional effects remains largely uncharted territory. This paper uses data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions to assess earnings differentials between social classes (as measured by ESeC) and the role of between-class inequality in overall…
Between-Class Earnings Inequality in 30 European Countries
This article studies earnings inequality between social classes across 30 European countries. Class inequality in earnings is found across the board although there are some exceptions. However, the degree of class inequality varies strongly across countries being larger in Western and Southern European countries and smaller in Eastern and Northern European countries. Furthermore, we find that differences in class composition in terms of observed …
Does downward social mobility make people more hostile towards immigrants
Intergenerational Class Mobility among Men and Women in Europe
In this article, we address two inter-related questions. Are there gender differences in the level and the pattern of intergenerational class mobility? If so, do these differences show up in a uniform fashion in Europe? To answer these questions, we use a newly constructed comparative data set that allows us to examine how far differences between men and women in absolute and relative mobility can still be characterized in the same way as in the …
Intergenerational Class Mobility in Europe
Comparative research into intergenerational social mobility has been typically restricted to a relatively small number of countries. The aim of this paper is to widen the perspective, and to provide an up-to-date account of rates of intergenerational class mobility across 30 European countries, using a newly-constructed comparative data-set based on the European Social Survey. Absolute mobility rates are found to vary quite widely with national d…
Income Inequality, Living Standards, and Intergenerational Social Mobility
This chapter deals with mobility across generations, paying particular attention to the now-common notion that greater inequality in the distribution of income is associated with less mobility and equality of opportunity—as encapsulated in the so-called ‘Great Gatsby Curve’. The chapter first discusses the conceptual and empirical issues that arise with respect to this hypothesis. Focusing on mobility in terms of social class, it uses a new datas…
Middle and Below Living Standards
This chapter complements the income-based measures of living standards on which earlier chapters have focused by incorporating non-income dimensions of economic well-being into its analysis, including indicators of material deprivation, economic burdens, and financial stress. It analyses how working-age households around and below the middle of the income distribution fared in European countries in the years before, during, and after the Great Re…
Giving Up on the Joneses? The Relationship between Income Inequality and Status-seeking
The objective of this article is to study status-seeking, defined as pursuit for elevated social status, and how it relates to income inequality. Building on sociological, psychological, and economic literature, we formulate two opposing hypotheses suggesting a positive and a negative relationship between income inequality and status-seeking. To test these hypotheses, we use repeated cross-sectional micro-data from the European Social Survey, whi…
Social class, employment status and inequality in psychological well-being in the UK
Is solidarity less important and less functional in egalitarian contexts
Solidarity refers to a willingness to contribute to the welfare of other people. This study builds on the idea that not only the value of solidarity (i.e. whether people find solidarity important) but also the function of solidarity (i.e. whether solidarity results in reputational gains) can differ across societies. According to the literature, egalitarian contexts can either have a normative effect by promoting the value of solidarity and increa…
Institutions, employment insecurity and polarization in support for unemployment benefits
Research has shown that workers’ support for public unemployment benefits (UB) depends on their level of employment insecurity: the insecure workers are more supportive of benefits than the secure workers. It can also be hypothesized that this polarization in support for UB is increased or decreased by the institutional settings of a country. We are particularly interested in two types of institutional conditions: the level of employment protecti…
