A fair chance? How geography shapes life opportunities

Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag

Our project addresses key societal challenges of crucial importance for maintaining the high degree of social mobility and low levels of economic inequality that characterize Norway. We investigate how the spatial context in which people live during different stages of their lives shape their life prospects and socioeconomic outcomes. Geography may influence people at different levels like the neighborhood, the municipality, the housing and labor markets and the economic region that represent different opportunity structures. Moreover, spatial context interacts with individual and family characteristics in complex ways to affect life trajectories. In this project, we take a dynamic approach and follow people over their life trajectories with a special focus on their geographical location at different stages in life, both during childhood and in their adult life. Mobility is a key mediating variable throughout the project. Our outcomes of interest include income and educational attainment and welfare dependency. We utilize large-scale register data, taking due account of the selection and simultaneity problems inherent in the phenomena studied.
