Description

Research in the domain of education and work is focused in sis main areas: 1) the scope of abilities and skills in the lifetime of individuals; 2) differences in educational level between different generations; 3) employability among young people and definitive withdrawal from the job market among old people; 4) intergenerational relations (both economic and in caring work); 5) the effects of ageing on the job market and, finally; 6) the difference between paid and unpaid work in the biography of individuals and in the trajectories of family groups. In this line, it is key to treat all points from a gender perspective, particularly when they are analyzed in households made up of a partnership plus their children or, more specifically, in the transition to parenthood.
