In this episode, we conversed with Dr. Nhat An Trinh, Research Officer at the Institute for New Economic Thinking and the Department of Social Policy and Intervention and a Research Fellow of Nuffield College, University of Oxford. Nhat An discussed how inequalities accumulate over the life course and are transmitted across generations. She also explained the mechanisms and factors that contribute to the reproduction of inequalities, as well as the role of social policy in mitigating them.
