Socio-economic status is a social construct with heritable components and genetic consequences | Nature Human Behaviour

Socio-economic status is a social construct with heritable components and genetic consequences | Nature Human Behaviour | Centre for Population Change Connecting Generations in the news | Scoop.it
In civilizations, individuals are born into or sorted into different levels of socio-economic status (SES). SES clusters in families and geographically, and is robustly associated with genetic effects. Here we first review the history of scientific research on the relationship between SES and heredity. We then discuss recent findings in genomics research in light of the hypothesis that SES is a dynamic social construct that involves genetically influenced traits that help in achieving or retaining a socio-economic position, and can affect the distribution of genes associated with such traits. Social stratification results in people with differing traits being sorted into strata with different environmental exposures, which can result in evolutionary selection pressures through differences in mortality, reproduction and non-random mating. Genomics research is revealing previously concealed genetic consequences of the way society is organized, yielding insights that should be approached with caution in pursuit of a fair and functional society. Abdellaoui et al. synthesize genomic evidence on the link between socio-economic status and heredity. They show how social stratification may create selection pressures, meaning that individuals are clustered in distinct environments. This may have consequences for genetic architectures and social inequality.

Jakub Bijak: “Our models mimic how actual economies work”

Meet Jakub Bijak, Research Leader at FutuRes. His team is working to find out whether migration and technological advancements can help alleviate some of the labour market pressures faced by Europe's societies. They also examine the trade offs between potential economic and migration policies.

About "FutuRes": www.futu-res.eu

Jakub Bijak is a Professor of Statistical Demography at the University of Southampton. Here's how he thinks European governments should make their labour markets more attractive: https://population-europe.eu/research/policy-insights/skills-shortage-eu-ways-towards-labour-market-resilience
