Jesper Rözer
sociologist
I am a sociologist and work as a researcher at The Netherlands Institute for Social Research (SCP).
My research agenda focusses on the intersection of the labor market, the educational system, social networks, inequality, and health. To study these topics I am relying on quantitative methods.
My personal goal is to better understand the causes and consequences of social inequalities to provide tools to better handle it and to help create an atmosphere of mutual respect in which status plays a smaller role for people’s health and well-being.

No more fiendish punishment could be devised, were such a thing physically possible, than that one should be turned loose in society and remain absolutely unnoticed by all the members thereof.
The rich man glories in his riches, because he feels that they naturally draw upon him the attention of the world… The poor man, on the contrary, is ashamed of his poverty. He feels that it either places him out of the sight of mankind, or, that if they take any notice of him.
