Contemporary challenges: labour market and inequalities

The course is structured into two main parts. In the first part, students will be introduced to the fundamental concepts underpinning the sociological analysis of labour markets and inequalities. This part will explore key concepts and indicators used to examine the structure and changes of labour markets, as well as inequalities within them. In the second part, the focus will shift to exploring the primary sources and dimensions of inequalities within labour markets. Through examination of recent empirical research, the course will analyze and discuss key evidence pertaining to inequalities based on social background, gender, migratory status, and geographical origin.
