Research into social stratification and social divisions has always
been a central component of sociological study. This volume brings
together a range of thematically organised case-studies comprising
empirical and methodological analyses addressing the challenges of
studying trends and processes in social stratification. This
collection has four themes. The first concerns the measurement of
social stratification, since the problem of relating concepts,
measurements and operationalizations continues to cause
difficulties for sociological analysis. This book clarifies the
appropriate deployment of existing measurement options, and
presents new empirical strategies of measurement and
interpretation. The conception of the life course and individual
social biography is very popular in modern sociology. The second
theme of this volume exploits the contemporary expansion of
micro-level longitudinal data and the analytical approaches
available to researchers to exploit such records. It comprises
chapters which exemplify innovative empirical analysis of
life-course processes in a longitudinal context, thus offering an
advance on previous sociological accounts concerned with
longitudinal trends and processes. The third theme of the book
concerns the interrelationship between contemporary demographic,
institutional and socioeconomic transformations and structures of
social inequality. Although the role of wider social changes is
rarely neglected in sociological reviews, such changes continue to
raise analytical challenges for any assessment of empirical
differences and trends. The fourth theme of the book discusses
selected features of policy and political responses to social
stratification. This volume will be of interest to students,
academics and policy experts working in the field of social
stratification.
