Personality and multidimensional inequality
Sociological theorizing has largely equated people’s personality with the social context in which they find themselves, neglecting a large body of work in psychology. This exploratory study examines how personality traits, as measured by the HEXACO model, are related to multidimensional inequality in the Netherlands. Using a large representative sample of the Dutch population (N = 6,773), we analyzed the relations between the six HEXACO traits an…

Capitals, social classes and intersectionality
In recent years, the debate on social inequality in both academia and politics has focused heavily on differences in income and wealth, the transformation of labor markets, and the nature of meritocracy in advanced capitalist societies. This article looks beyond that, using a framework of four types of resources: economic, cultural, social and person capital (the combination of someone’s health and attractiveness). A dedicated survey was linked t…
Diverging death risks
The finding that more economic, cultural and person capital is associated with lower mortality provides empirical support for an approach that uses a broad spectrum of capital measures - hitherto rarely included simultaneously in epidemiological research - in order to understand diverging death risks. By integrating sociological concepts, cohort data, and epidemiological research methods, our study highlights the need for further research on the …
A capital-based approach to better understand health inequalities
The persistence of health inequalities may be driven by differences in education and income, but also by other economic and non-economic factors. Our aim was to explore how the association between single-dimensional health and socioeconomic status (SES) changes when including health-related person capital, economic capital, social capital, cultural capital and attractiveness and personality capital. We used a capital-based approach to understand …
Refugees' Transition from Welfare to Work
This study analyses the impact of the neighbourhood context on the likelihood that refugees move from social assistance to paid employment. It makes use of Dutch policy that resulted in an exogenous placement of refugees in their first regular housing. This natural quasi-experiment allows us to estimate intent-to-treat effects of initial neighbourhood characteristics on the likelihood of transitioning from welfare to work. We consider the impact …
From Social Assistance to Self-Sufficiency
Welfare reforms often focus on stimulating employment among benefit recipients, based on the theoretical mechanism that the performance of low income work will serve as a stepping stone towards financial self-sufficiency. Alternative theories, however, argue that the acceptance of low income work will reduce job search intensity and can signal low productivity, and therefore will not enable people to support themselves. Using longitudinal adminis…
Institutions of Inclusion and Exclusion
This thematic issue aims to shed light on the connections between institutions (and related forms of organisation) and social inclusion and exclusion. In this editorial we briefly introduce the concepts, summarise the various articles and provide some general conclusions

The Disadvantaged Among the Dutch
Regimes and cultures of social security
This article reassesses the link between the structural and cultural aspects of social security. Do Esping-Andersen’s ‘Three Worlds’ exist empirically if one considers a comprehensive set of formal institutions simultaneously? And if so, do such regimes coincide with coherent differences in people’s value orientations in this field, or informal cultures? In order to answer these questions, nonlinear principal components analysis was applied to a …
