Perception of intergenerational inheritance of inequalities in Italy
Perception of intergenerational inheritance of inequalities in Italy

Summary/Abstract: At national level the Padua research group has carried out 15 semi-structured interviews with political, economic and NGOs elites. To the interviewees the topic of the intergenerational transmission of inequalities was not very clear; in other words this theme is not taken much into consideration by the national elite. The interviews were mainly about the analysis of the present state of inequalities in Italy, about their causes and the policies to reduce them. With regard to this last topic, the interviewed people did not know much about policies and about the results they could lead to. It is also important to note that none of the interviewed people used “social class” as a category of analysis.
