• Welfare regimes and social stratification (2015, background): “Comparative mobility research routinely concludes that Sweden is an exception to the constant flux thesis (Breen et al., 2009; Erikson and Goldthorpe, 1992; Shavit and Blossfeld, 1992).”
• Understanding – and Misunderstanding – Social Mobility in Britain: The Entry of the Economists, the Confusion of Politicians and the Limits of Educational Policy (2013, result): “It is possible that these developments were associated with some, albeit modest, reduction in classlinked inequalities in educational attainment (Breen et al., 2009, 2010), although the issue is still debatable.”
• What are the causes of educational inequalities and of their evolution over time in Europe? Evidence from PISA (2010, positive): “finding of persistent inequality has been contested by Breen et al. (2009), who - in contrast to the collection of single country studies - try to ensure a higher degree of”
• Intergenerational Mobility and Inequality: The Latin American Case* (2014, background): “…States and many European countries (Breen 2004, Hout 1988), driven by equalization of educational opportunity and by a compositional effect whereby, over time, more people reach higher levels of schooling where the intergenerational association is weaker (Breen & Jonsson 2007, Breen et al. 2009).”
• The role of education in intergenerational social mobility: Problems from empirical research in sociology and some theoretical pointers from economics (2014, result): “The questioning of earlier findings (Shavit and Blossfeld, 1993) of an essential stability in this association (Breen et al., 2009, 2010) has in turn been challenged (Shavit et al., 2007), and several further studies, measuring social origins in differing ways, have tended to support the…”
• Economic Crisis and Inequality of Educational Opportunity in Latin America (2010, background): “…(a three-way interaction), such that lower educated people from lower social class origins had a shorter life expectancy, this would tend to understate the extent of class inequality in older cohorts and would lead me to underestimate the decline in inequality over cohorts (Breen et al. 2009).”
