Having a job is no longer sufficient for escaping poverty. Many households,
especially with children, are experiencing in-work poverty associated with
low wages or periods of inactivity.
In what way does our background affect wages? This report analyses the
evolution of wage trajectories among native and immigrant young people
between 2007 and 2015.
What impact has the economic crisis caused by covid-19 had on wage
inequality? Have public subsidies been sufficient? We analyse which groups
have been most affected.
The aim of the call was to support survey-based research projects on the
social reality of young people in Spain, using quantitative survey data in
social sciences.
Some 29% of Spaniards have a social position above that of their parents,
and over 40% believe they have risen above their grandparents on the social
ladder.
