The Research Group on Human Capital of UQAM’s School of Management invites you to attend its fourth workshop, which will be held on Friday, October 6, 2017, at UQAM. Eight academic researchers from the fields of Economics and Sociology will present recent work on the theme of social mobility and intergenerational transmissions. The workshop is intended to promote discussion and exchanges on the theme of social mobility, broadly speaking, with a special interest in the role of public policies and interventions and their potential to equalize opportunities. Registration is free (including lunch) but mandatory.
The workshop will take place at the University of Quebec in Montreal, building Président-Kennedy, 201 Président-Kennedy Avenue (Place-des-Arts metro station), room PK-1140, from 8:55 AM to 5:10 PM. It is open not only to academics (professors, researchers, graduate students), but also to administrators and policymakers as well as to officials from governmental institutions with an interest in the topic.
