Cíle předmětu
This is a course in comparative social stratification which will combine lectures with readings and Excel exercises. It will focus mostly on Europe, but will also cover some non-European countries and, more generally, the global trends. The goal is to 1) introduce you to (or refresh your memory on) some key concepts of social stratification, 2) see how they work in practice in different countries, 3) discuss the causes and consequences of changes in social inequalities in the context of different welfare-state models, 4) do your own comparative analysis with the data provided. Reading load (in English): approximately 30-40 pages per week.
