Research title: Using Understanding Society as a microscope to examine the class ceiling in the UK labour market.

Research Summary

I am a third year PhD Candidate in the Adam Smith Business School, Economics. My thesis examines the drivers of the “class ceiling” in the UK labour market using the UK Household Longitudinal Study. The overarching research question I am addressing is, to what extent does social origin influence labour market outcomes independently of level of education?
