Fairness, inequality and intergenerational mobility - Summary Report
Increasing inequalities in multiple dimensions have played a role in fostering a feeling of injustice and triggering social dissatisfaction. While fairness is subjective, the far-reaching impact of perceptions of unfairness necessitates a more thorough examination and thoughtful consideration of some of the factors and fundamental dynamics influencing both inequalities and fairness perceptions. This report contributes to the public discourse on fairness and provides evidence to support the European political agenda on social fairness. This report presents JRC research findings on perceptions of fairness, income inequality, equality of opportunity, social policies and taxation based on the 2022 edition of the “Eurobarometer Survey on Fairness, Inequality and Inter-generational mobility”.
