Mapineq – Mapping inequalities through the life course – is a 3-year research project (2022 – 2025). The project studies the trends and drivers of intergenerational, educational, labour market and health inequalities over the life course during the last decades, and distinguishes between local, regional, national and supranational levels.
The research is carried out by a consortium of eight partners across Europe and the United Kingdom. Mapineq brings together prominent researchers in inequalities of opportunities and outcomes in Europe to address these issues in a unique manner.
