Promoting Inclusion, Equality and Citizenship

THEMATIC LINE 2

About

SocioDigital Lab for Public Policy promotes a unique interdisciplinary approach to the study of public policy and contributes to the resolution of contemporary societal problems and global challenges. The complexity of the modern world requires new approaches integrating social sciences and digital technologies to address societal problems and contribute to public policy. Six research units with scientific expertise in diverse and complementary fields in the social sciences and digital technologies have, thus, joined together to address those issues. These research units consist of qualified experienced teams with know-how in the fundamentals, analysis, implementation and evaluation of public policies.

Analysis of school trajectories, family socialization, and transition to active life.
Identification of inequalities produced by social and cultural forms of reproduction in the educational system and their repercussion on the transition to active and professional life. This will require the study of the relationship between school trajectories, family socialization, and the beginning of professional paths, from early childhood to the transition to working life. TL2 will contribute to policies aimed at reducing early school leaving and promoting forms of training and education that favour equal opportunities.

Analysis of the dynamics of the labour market, professional trajectories, and models of social protection.
Study of professional trajectories in the labour market to identify the modalities of non-standard employment and social vulnerability. An inventory and evaluation of social protection policies and systems, at the national, European, and international level, as well as coverage and eligibility. We will contribute to inclusive employment policies that deepen and broaden the scope of social and labour protection of the employed and unemployed population; and design policies that promote social protection in a rationale of universality of coverage, sustainability, and adequacy of the system.

Analysis of quality of life levels and promotion of citizenship.
Study of the inequalities produced by different practices of citizenship (at various levels) and standards of quality of life, namely those based on ethnic and migratory diversity, age, gender, sexuality, language, religious identity, status, functional/(dis)ability diversity, and other dimensions associated with greater social vulnerability. This will study of the promotion of citizenship in a broad way, inclusiveness, and full accessibility to services (including digital ones) and the built environment with the primary objective of improving the quality of life of citizens and people with vulnerabilities. We will contribute to the promotion of a broad digital citizenship and to policy measures that enable the implementation of informational and knowledge society, responding to the current requirements of online access, communication and collaboration, using digital services and inclusive collaborative tools, reducing generational, cultural and physical barriers.
