#### Reminder / Second Call for Papers ####
Dear colleagues,
from July 7-9, 2011, a conference on “Social inequality and mobility
in the life-course: Causes and consequences of social stratification”
will take place at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research
(MZES) at Mannheim University, Germany.
The international conference will bring together scientists to present
new approaches and empirical evidence on the causes and consequences
of social inequality and mobility.
Regarding causation, we seek insight into the role of institutional
structures (e.g. preschool and educational systems, labour markets and
policy) but also of personal attributes or family background for
social status outcomes like educational attainment or occupational
status.
As to consequences, we are interested in those areas of life that can
be affected by educational attainment, occupational status or
mobility, like family transitions, cultural, social and political
participation. As social inequality is relevant in all stages of the
life course and across diverse areas of life, we intend to cover all
periods in the life course from pre-school, educational and
occupational careers to retirement and old age.
We invite social scientists to contribute to the conference. Papers
should focus on one of the following topics regarding social
stratification:
• Early childhood and pre-school education
• General secondary and tertiary education
• Vocational education and lifelong learning
• Labour markets and occupational careers
• Intergenerational transfer of resources and family transitions
• Social inequality in old age and retirement
• Social inequality and social participation
The deadline for submission of an extended abstract of two pages is
April 10, 2011.
Further information is available in the attached flyer as well as the
conference webpage at http://www.mzes.uni-mannheim.de/konf/simlife/
