Project

Linking Social Stratification and Geographic Mobility Through Geo-Referenced Data

Egor Kotov, Daniela Perrotta, Emilio Zagheni; in Collaboration with John Palmer, Jonathan Kent (both: Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona, Spain), Frederic Bartumeus (The Spanish National Research Council, Blanes Centre for Advanced Studies, Spain), Jorge Cimentada (MPIDR)

We aim to understand better how the interplay between socioeconomic status, within-city migration, gender dynamics, and the spatial structure of cities generates and amplifies inequalities. This is achieved by analyzing geo-referenced mobility traces in several functional urban areas.  Detailed Description
