The current call for projects aims to support research efforts that contribute to the understanding of the intergenerational social mobility patterns in Latin American countries and the mechanisms and policies that can break the persistence of inequalities across generations.

A non-exhaustive list of topics which are of interest for the current call is the following:
• Relationship between inequality and intergeneration mobility;
• Relationship between intra and intergenerational mobility;
• Mobility and poverty traps;
• The role of social protection systems in the intergenerational mobility;
• Representation of minorities in decision-making positions in public and private institutions and its consequences on mobility;
• New information sources and methodologies to explore intergenerational mobility in different dimensions of individual well-being (income, occupations, education, health, assets and others);
• Mechanisms behind the persistence in human capital accumulation across generations;
• Education and social mobility;
• Policies to support vulnerable families in the formation of their children’s human capital;
• Access to labor opportunities and the role of social networks and family ties;
• Relationship between discrimination and income mobility;
• Labor informality and mobility;
• Spatial-urban factors that open opportunities in the labor market and for human capital accumulation;
• Migration and intergenerational mobility;
• Entrepreneurship and mobility;
• Mechanisms behind the persistence in the (im)possibility of assets accumulation;
• Policies of financial inclusion to promote mobility.

Each winning proposal will receive a research grant of up to USD 15,000 to carry out the project.

Submit your proposal until February 21st, 2021.
