Research Group for Equal Opportunities

Introduction

Our workshop is a network of research teams, loosely connected to each other by their interest in equal opportunities issues. There are ongoing and planned research projects, both Hungarian and international ones, focussing on the roots, the forms, the institutionalized as well as the personal relations of social inequalities. During the past years our main research projects explored the social exclusion  and the impeded social integration of the Hungarian Roma population in the fields of health, education, social provision and child care. Other significant research topics are connected to gender issues: especially to female employment disadvantages, reconciliation of family and work, and the power relations within the families. Our goal is to disseminate our findings not only in the Hungarian and the international academic arena but also among policy-makers in order to advance equal opportunities policy-development in Hungary.
