January 14th 2025

La mobilité sociale désigne l’évolution de la situation socio-économique d'une personne par rapport à celle de ses parents, ou tout au long de sa vie. Comment peut-elle se mesurer ? Quels sont les différents types de mobilité ? Comment a-t-elle évolué au cours du temps ? Nous poserons aussi la question des différences entre pays en termes de mobilité sociale et examinerons le concept de méritocratie et sa relation avec la mobilité. 

 

Cecilia García – Peñalosa est directrice de recherche au CNRS, directrice d’études à l’EHESS et membre de d'Aix- Marseille School of Economics. Ses recherches portent principalement sur la croissance à long terme, les inégalités de revenus et les inégalités entre femmes et hommes.

Development aid: between solidarity and self-interest

Over the last few decades, the amount of money given in development aid has increased considerably in recent decades, from 86 billion constant US dollars in 2002 to 223 billion in 2023. However, challenges associated with development persist, raising the question of aid effectiveness. Is it the size of the budgets allocated that is lacking, or is it the way in which this aid is spent? Economist Nathalie Ferrière explores the issue.
