    Open Access•Pierre Robert, Borbála Júlia Szczuka•ARTICLE•CAM•2025•References: 20

    The article investigates satisfaction of Hungarian adolescents aged 12-14, comparing data from a home survey and a school survey. Satisfaction items are measured on a 0-10-point scale. We estimate the effect of survey settings on satisfaction through ordered logit regression analysis. Contrary to potential expectations, the analysis finds that adolescents are not conformists, they express dissatisfaction with school or home matters even if they a…

  • Mapping the Post-communist Class Structure: Findings from a New Multidimensional Hungarian Class Survey

    Open Access•F Albert, Beata David et al.•ARTICLE•East European Politics and…•2017•Cited by: 5•References: 7

    In this article, we define a schema for the class structure of Hungary, in which we consider a case for an Eastern-European capitalist system emerging from post-communist societies. Our schema is based on the findings of the Hungarian Class Survey, 2014. Using six measures of Bourdieusian economic, cultural, and social capital and applying the methodology of latent class analysis (LCA), we have constructed a model of eight LCA-based classes: uppe…

  • Stratification in Transition Economies

    Open Access•Pierre Robert, Peter Robert•OTHER•The Blackwell Encyclopedia of…•2016

    This entry discusses the drivers of social stratification in the former communist “transition economies.” These societies are defined by their move from an autocratic/totalitarian political system to a parliamentary/multiparty democracy and from a planned to a market economy. Theoretically, this realignment involves social devices that affect social inequality. Practically, continuity and discontinuity with the communist past are important when c…

  • Stratification in Transition Economies

    Open Access•Pierre Robert, Peter Robert•OTHER•The Blackwell Encyclopedia of…•2007

    Although one could argue that all economies are in transition, permanently, from one state to another, this entry will focus on former socialist societies, which have undergone a post‐communist transition both in a political and a socioeconomic sense. Accordingly, economies that experienced a transition to democracy but not to a market economy (e.g., countries in South America) are not considered. Thus, this entry provides information on developm…
