Méthodologie en sciences sociales
Recherche sur les questionnaires et les grandes enquêtes, impact du plan de recherche retenu, des modalités de traduction et des différences potentielles entre répondants et non-répondants. Validité des résultats et catégories de mesure
Stratification et inégalités
Recherche sur les inégalités en Suisse, leur origine et leur maintien. En particulier études de mobilité sociale
Contexte ou les Inégalités sociales dans le temps et dans l'espace
La structure sociale se construit différemment, et est représentée différemment, suivant le contexte social et spatial dans lequelle elle se situe. En outre, les migrations et mouvements de la population posent la question du référentiel pertinent, entre contexte de départ ou d'arrivée. Dans ce sens, il est important de construire des catégories qui tout à la fois puissent être comparables au niveau européen et rendre compte du contexte pertinent

PNR 60 Aspirations et orientations professionnelles des filles et garçons en fin de scolarité obligatoire: Quels déterminants pour plus d'égalité? Financé par le FNS dans le cadre du PNR 60 « Egalité entre hommes et femmes »
2010 - 2013 (36 months)
Applicant: Dominique Joye
Other collaborators: Jacques-Antoine Gauthier, Lavinia Gianettoni, Carolilna Carvalho Arruda, Dinah Gross, Edith Guilley, Elisabeth Isaeiva Moubarak Nahra, Karin Müller
En Suisse, les aspirations et orientations professionnelles des filles et des garçons restent toujours fortement sexuées : les jeunes s'orientent selon l'idée qu'il existe des métiers d'hommes et des métiers de femmes. Ce projet de recherche s'appuie sur une enquête par questionnaire passée auprès d'élèves du niveau secondaire I, leurs parents et leurs enseignants et sur des entretiens semi-directifs avec des professionnel-le-s de l'orientation. L'objectif est de déterminer les causes de ces différences d'orientation - qui contribuent à terme à la (re)production des inégalités entre les sexes - pour mieux définir les mesures à même de les combattre efficacement.
L'hypothèse principale qui guide notre travail est que des facteurs structurels institutionnels (position sociale, système scolaire, capitaux sociaux) et psychosociaux agissent conjointement dans un travail de reproduction des rôles et identités sexués et contribuent ainsi à la « division sexuelle de l'orientation professionnelle ».
Transitions de vie et contextes sociaux: vers un cadre méthodologique intégré pour étudier l'impact des événements critiques (PRN LIVES - IP15)

Jacques-Antoine Gauthier
Jacques-Antoine Gauthier is sociologist and a senior lecturer at the university of Lausanne (Unil). He teaches an introduction to social sciences research at the bachelor degree and a quantitative approach to the life course perspective at the master degree. Before working at Unil he was a scientific collaborator successively at the Swiss Federal Statistical Office, at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne and at Addiction suisse. He was also a Honorary Fellow of the University of Edinburgh from 2017 to 2018.
Research interests His research focuses on the ways in which life trajectories of women and men are shaped, in particular when experiencing transitions such as from school to work, to parentality or to retirement. He aims at uncovering the processes by which social institutions such as school, the family or the labor market anticipate and reproduce the systems of roles and values that form the frame for specific gender relationships. To do so, he is follwing a life course perspective that shows that individual trajectories are multidimensional, strongly interdependent and sensitive to the timing of events as well as to the context in which they take place.
Lavinia Gianettoni
Lavinia Gianettoni is a social psychologist. Her research focuses on gender inequalities and their intertwining with other hierarchical social relationships (class, sexuality, nationality, religion, etc.). In her recent research, she has more precisely analysed how the gender, institutional and ideological system influences the career aspirations of young people at the end of their schooling. She is currently conducting longitudinal research to assess how the experience of sexist or homophobic discrimination impacts vocational training trajectories and the risks of disruption or drop-out that can result from it.
Michael Grätz
Michael Grätz joined LINES at UNIL with an Ambizione grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation. In addition, he is a researcher at the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI), Stockholm University. Before, he worked at Nuffield College, University of Oxford and at Bielefeld University. He received his PhD in Political and Social Sciences from the European University Institute (EUI) in 2015.
His research aims at understanding the intergenerational transmission of advantage. For this purpose, he conducts both descriptive studies estimating differences in social mobility across countries, over time, and between groups within societies as well as causal studies that identify the effects of institutions on social mobility. A particular emphasis of his work is on socioeconomic differences in the impact of demographic factors, such as parental separation, and differences between siblings on children. Furthermore, his research explores which mechanisms underlie the intergenerational transmission of advantage, in particular the contribution of parenting to this process.
