Research axes
INED’s scientific activity is structured into approximately 70 multi-annual research projects, 30 of which are major and in many cases international. The diversity of research topics, methodologies and teams reflects INED’s scientific approach: wide-ranging and multidisciplinary. The fields studied these past years correspond directly to many contemporary social issues: end-of-life care and decisions, changes in the family, discrimination and the trajectories of immigrants and their descendants, inequalities at work, violence and gender relations.
