Several major Dutch media outlets featured research by our PhD student Sander de Vries on inequality of opportunity in the Netherlands. His work was highlighted in De Volkskrant, Het Financieele Dagblad, and Economische en Statistische Berichten.
Sander’s research offers new insights into the extent to which children’s economic success is shaped by their family background. He also discussed his findings (in Dutch) on NPO Radio 1's Geld of je Leven. 📖 Read and listen here: De Volkskrant https://www.volkskrant.nl/economie/vu-econoom-kansenongelijkheid-in-nederland-groter-dan-in-veel-andere-westerse-landen~b8b9f614/ Het Financieele Dagblad https://fd.nl/economie/1559658/kansenongelijkheid-in-nederland-groter-dan-in-andere-westerse-landen Economische en Statistiche Berichten https://esb.nu/economisch-succes-hangt-sterk-samen-met-familieachtergrond/ https://esb.nu/inkomen-kind-in-nederland-relatief-sterk-bepaald-door-dat-van-de-ouder/ NPO Radio 1, Geld of je Leven https://www.nporadio1.nl/fragmenten/geld-of-je-leven/0197ac1f-ee92-73c5-9c17-b72fa717fa86/2025-06-26-kansenongelijkheid-in-nederland-groter-dan-gedacht
