Sociologist to discuss social vulnerability and inequality in Luxembourg

Sociologist and ethnographer Giovanni Monteduro will present research on social vulnerability and inequality at a conference in Luxembourg City on October 28. Organized by the OGBL Immigration Department, the event will take place at the Chambre des Salariés.

Monteduro’s research examines whether traditional economic indicators, such as income, sufficiently capture the complexity of human experience. He argues that statistical data must be paired with qualitative approaches to understand issues like social networks, access to services, and individual dignity. The discussion will also compare European welfare models, specifically contrasting the universalist Nordic model with the Mediterranean model.
