Thesis Title: Delayed Social Mobility in Aging Societies
Supervisors: Christiaan Monden
Martin Rosemblatt Meta is a Dphil candidate in Sociology. His work focuses on aging, retirement, social stratification, and social mobility, particularly from a life course lens. Using a combination of longitudinal survey and administrative data, as well as quantitative exploratory and causal methods, he is interested in how aging at different levels might affect directly or indirectly a variety of life course processes, such as social mobility and stratification.
Previously, he has worked as a research assistant for various projects analyzing topics such as gender inequalities in retirement; theory of social mobility; and how life course trajectories evolve and affect health outcomes in later life.
His thesis aims to investigate the dynamics of social mobility and aging. The central hypothesis is that demographic aging delays the period in which individuals experience social mobility to later stages of life, and that there are several mechanisms –such as gender, education, labor market, and health conditions– that intersect and help explain this process across societies.
