Unequal mid-career trajectories

 

This report synthesizes three research deliverables from Work Package 5 of the Mapineq project, Akimova et al. (2024), Jäntti (2024) and Jäntti (2025) that address unequal career trajectories. Each report addresses inequality from a distinct perspective: genetics and occupational attainment, regional poverty and deprivation, and occupational mobility during prime working age. Together, they demonstrate the complex interplay of individual, regional, and structural factors in shaping life chances across Europe.
