Riassunto

This quantitative analysis makes a systematic comparison of individuals' lives in the 15 countries of the EU. Focusing on the domains of family, employment and income, it is based on a survey following a large sample of families in each country over several years. The 18 contributors come from a range of social science disciplines and use different theoretical perspectives to address the impact of social norms, market forces and policy on people's choices; the pattern of experiences across the course of a life; and accumulation of capital as contributions to social mobility. The analysis identifies systemic differences between countries and looks at social policy as the source of differences. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
