Stratification and Equality of Opportunity in the Era of Novel Technologies
Description of the granted funding
The STRATEQ project studies how global trends in higher education expansion and labor market, and new technologies like AI affect Equality of Opportunity (EoO). EoO focuses on reducing the impact of family background on a person's chances in life. The project explores key issues, including gender differences in education, the challenges faced by the middle class, and how AI is changing work and education. It aims to understand how these changes shape opportunities for future generations. STRATEQ is organized into four areas: higher education's role in mobility, labor market inequalities, the effects of AI on skills and opportunities, and a summary of findings. The project uses innovative methods and data from Europe and the US to provide insights. Its results will help improve policies on education and work, reduce inequalities, and address concerns about AI's impact on society, supporting global goals for fairness and equal opportunities.
