It pursues cutting-edge research and innovative teaching on one of the central societal challenges of our time: social inequality. With a focus on the dynamics of social inequality, CID’s scientific mission is to develop a better understanding of changes and stability in social inequality across time, generations, and sociopolitical contexts.

"Cap Personal Wealth at One Billion"

Today, the International Day of the Worker, wealth inequality in the United States is higher than in any other rich country in the world.

On the one side, immense amounts of wealth, such as the wealth of Elon Musk, are concentrated at the top, on the other side, one in ten U.S. households have no wealth and are actually in debt. CID Faculty Director Fabian Pfeffer and Professor and Associate Dean for Research and Creative Practice at Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Kathy Velikov explore this imbalance in a video—and suggest an approach to help level the wealth playing field.

Inequality Scholar Spotlight: Luis Flores

People often think of home and work as two separate aspects of their lives, but the line continues to blur for many working Americans. With inflation and rising costs, more and more people are turning to side gigs and second sources of income – often from their own homes. Sociology doctoral candidate and CID Student Fellow Luis Flores has dedicated his career to studying these practices through a historical framework, termed “home-based moneymaking.” Luis studies how labor markets, wealth, and social inequality are shaped by changes to the political and regulatory boundary between home and market in the United States.
