The main goal of the research professorship “Work, Family, Social Inequality” is to understand how and why gender and care responsibilities contribute to labor market inequalities. Why do women rarely work in the better-paid, male-dominated jobs? Why do parenthood and care responsibilities unequally affect women's and men's labor market outcomes? How do remote work and flexible work hours affect inequalities in the workplace?  To answer these and related questions, the research professor and her team draw on a broad repertoire of theoretical approaches from both sociology and social psychology as well as methodologies. Methodologically, they collect and analyze survey, digital trace, experimental and qualitative interview data.
