′′Wealth-being′′ single-parents and education policies
On February 27-28, 2025, we attended the 2nd III/LIS Comparative Economic Inequality Conference, organized by LIS and the UK LIS Satellite Office at the International Inequalities Institute (III) of the London School of Economics. Key topics included income inequality, intergenerational mobility, the role of policies in addressing poverty, and innovations in inequality measurement. This exceptional event provided a great platform for exchanging knowledge and insights in the field of economic inequalities.
We had the oppotunity to present our research "′′Wealth-being′′ single-parents and education policies" . This study focuses on how different education financing systems impact the wealth and educational attainment of single parents across various countries. Our key findings show that single parents in paid education systems tend to be better educated but accumulate less wealth compared to those in free education systems. The discussion also addressed the role of student support systems in shaping economic inequalities among households. We received a lot of valuable feedback and insightful comments from participants, which will help refine our research and explore new directions for further analysis.
