Updated and extended IPOLIS is launched

TÁRKI has launched an updated and extended version of its Integrated Poverty and Living Conditions Indicator System, IPOLIS. IPOLIS was developed within the frame of the InGRID and InGRID-2 projects, relying on inputs from other partners.
IPOLIS is a comprehensive, multidimensional, cross-country, and over-time comparative database on the quality of life of vulnerable groups in European societies. The updated version of the indicator database includes five vulnerable groups: children, young people, older people, disabled persons, and migrants. The data visualization tool attached to IPOLIS aims to serve as a resource for various user groups (such as researchers, policy makers, NGO experts, journalists, students) to explore the database in a flexible way and to extract outputs tailored to their needs.

Origins of Multidimensional Class Locations in Hungary

Our colleague, Péter Róbert's new paper focuses on intergenerational mobility and explores the role of social origin in ending up in various class locations. Latent class analysis was applied to mapping the class structure based on economic, cultural and social assets. Parental education and occupation are used to examine how social origin operates in accumulating the various forms of capital and in getting into different class positions. Out of the forms of capital, economic resources, high cultural capital and prestige of social contacts depend particularly on the social origin; these are the main channels affecting mobility into the best class locations.

New EUROSHIP publications

The EUROSHIP project released the results of its latest round of research into social rights and citizenship in the EU in a series of four working papers. One of the four, the "Diversity and change in citizenship: Mapping poverty in Europe" was authored by our colleagues, András Gábos, Zsófia Tomka and István György Tóth.
