El próximo 26 de marzo a las 14 horas se realizará un nuevo seminario de investigación del Programa de Población de FCS, titulado «Interconnected inequalities and family life courses in Spain (INTERINEQ)», a cargo de Andrés Castro Torres, investigador del Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
Castro está, además, vinculado al Centro de Estudios Demográficos (CED) de la Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona y es doctor en Demografía y Sociología (University of Pennsylvania). Sus líneas de investigación se concentran en la fecundidad, las familias y la estratificación social.

Resumen
As societies become more complex, new forms of inequality and discrimination emerge. In this scenario, not considering the interconnected forms of inequality limits the scope of scientific accounts on inequality and intergenerational transmission of disadvantages as most rely on predefined socioeconomic status categories. INTERINEQ aims to understand how intertwined dimensions of inequality, such as gender, education, and migration status, influence partnership dynamics, childbearing trajectories, and the intergenerational transmission of disadvantages among people residing in Spain at varying stages of life, from early to late adulthood. INTERINEQ uses nationally representative surveys, and birth records of the Spanish population to build data-driven configurations of inequality based on individuals’ characteristics and living circumstances. Uncovering existing configurations of inequality will allow us to see how broader social inequality emerges at the intersection of several forms of discrimination, exclusion, and intergenerational transmission of disadvantages. The INTERINEQ’s approach will serve two purposes. First, it will provide evidence-based recommendations to improve social support policies from a holistic perspective. Second, it will move the general discourse away from overly simplistic interpretations of inequality that often blame minorities and vulnerable groups.
