Beschreibungen

<p>This book explores how structures of social inequality are linked to the social connections that people hold. The authors focus upon occupational inequalities where they see, for example, that the typical friendship patterns of people from one occupation are often very different to those of people from another.</p><p> </p><p>Social Inequalities and Occupational Stratification leverages empirical data about differences in social connections to chart structures of social distance and social inequality. Several of its chapters provide coverage of the long-standing Cambridge Social Interaction and Stratification scale (CAMSIS) project and its approach to analysing social interaction patterns in terms of a single dimension related to social inequality.&nbsp;</p>

Several of its chapters provide coverage of the long-standing CAMSIS project and its approach to analysing social interaction patterns in terms of a single dimension related to social inequality. Lambert and Griffiths also explore different ways that statistical methods and tools of social network analysis can be used to study the relationship between social distance and social stratification.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Provides a unique archive of technical materials on relevant analytical approaches and statistical techniques towards the study of social inequalities</p><p>Utilises the sociological concepts of homophily and endogamy within its analysis of social distance between people belonging to different occupations</p><p>Outlines a number of influential approaches to measuring social stratification, including different measures of social class and popular stratification scales</p>
