Description

This research area examines the relationship between families, well-being, and inequalities. Our aim is to provide a precise understanding of how families and inequalities interact and shape individuals’ well-being in contemporary societies.

Examples of research questions we investigate include:
(1) How do family resources shape inequalities in children’s cognitive and socioemotional outcomes?
(2) How does adolescent social media use link to well-being outcomes across different population groups?
(3) How do gender inequalities in family life relate to disparities in men’s and women’s mental health trajectories?

Methodologically, we apply advanced statistical techniques, computational methods, and mixed-method designs, and conduct both single-case and cross-country studies.
