Editorial of the thematic issue on social stratification of the Czech Sociological Review

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The thematic issue on social stratification is presented in its editorial. The issue assembles a series of prevailingly empirical contributions that focus on the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, also in comparison with Austria. All of them bring about several novelties. First, there is the focus on the historical background of the current social structure in the Central European region, presented in the article ‘Social Stratification and Its Perception in Austria and Central-East Europe from 1960 to 2015: Historical Legacies, the Socialist Past, and Recent Developments’. Second, there is the use—hitherto rare—of statistical surveys for stratification empirics. Specifically, the article ‘Setting Social Status in Couples and Partners’ Budgetary Discretion in Central European Countries’ offers an empirical test of the thesis of the individualisation of social status by linking objective and subjective characteristics. The article ‘Patterns of Horizontal Social Stratification between and within the Regions of the Visegrád Countries’ makes use of the advantages offered by the EU-SILC surveys’ big samples to examine the otherwise rarely looked at issue of horizontal stratification by regions. The article ‘Is Education Becoming a Weaker Determinant of Occupation?’ employs another statistical survey, the EU-LFS, to test the relevance of treating education as a positional good. Third, the article ‘Educational Pathways and Their Role in Occupational and Class Attainment in Czech Society’, which presents some of the first results from the first Czech panel survey, offers an important methodological innovation through a theoretical extension in that it distinguishes between school track and final educational attainment in relation to the impact of social class.
