Title.- Closing presentation of the project: “Interconnected Inequalities through the Life Course in Spain” funded by ‘la Caixa’ Foundation (2022-2024).

Abstract.- As societies become more complex, new forms of inequality and discrimination emerge. In this scenario, not considering the interconnected forms of inequality limits the scope of scientific accounts on inequality and intergenerational transmission of disadvantages as most rely on predefined socioeconomic status categories. INTERINEQ aims to understand how intertwined dimensions of inequality, such as gender, education, and migration status, influence partnership dynamics, childbearing trajectories, and the intergenerational transmission of disadvantages among people residing in Spain at varying stages of life, from early to late adulthood. INTERINEQ uses nationally representative surveys, and birth records of the Spanish population to build data-driven configurations of inequality based on individuals’ characteristics and living circumstances. Uncovering existing configurations of inequality allow us to see how broader social inequality emerges at the intersection of several forms of discrimination, exclusion, and intergenerational transmission of disadvantages. In this presentation, we will describe the origin, development, and outcomes of the project, placing equal emphasis on its practical challenges, achievements, and scientific contributions.
