Research questions
The types of research questions that guide my past and current research are wide, for example:
- Why do lower-class children lag behind in development or school performance?
- Why do fathers spend less time in unpaid work?
- How do critical life events (e.g., divorce, unemployment) affect families?
- How do macro-economic shocks (e.g., Great Recession, Covid) affect class and gender inequalities?
- What kind of strategies do upper-class families put into practice to reproduce their advantage?
