This paper discusses theories that attempt to explain the existence of economic inequalities among social groups in the labour market in the context of the theory of competitive labour market and the determinants of these inequalities. The author focuses on the hypothesis of crowding in several occupations, the theory of discrimination, the human capital theory, the theory of information cost, labour market signaling theory, the limited spatial mobility of women hypothesis and Rosen’s model of discrimination. According to these theories, inequalities are determined by: professional segregation, intentional wage discrimination resulting from the propensity to discriminate observed among employers, employees and clients of the dominant group, poorer human capital resources of certain social groups, diversified levels of individual abilities, skills and qualifications, employers’ belief in lower productivity of certain social groups, the cost of information about the suitability of job applicants, the cost of fluctuations, limited spatial mobility of women due to their social roles, self-selection and misplacement of employees in jobs.

The paper focuses on socio-economic inequalities in health. It presents theoretical and methodological conceptualization of socio-economic determinants’ effect on health and tests effects of specific indicators of socio-economic status. It employs the indicators that are not often used in the health analysis – EGP class scheme and Top-Bottom self-placement scale. A strategy of empirical analysis is based on building of binary logistic models. They confirm the role of the EGP class scheme and the subjective identification of social position as important predictors of self-rated health and health measured in terms of presence of chronic illness.

W artykule analizujemy mozaikę niekorzystnych aspektów związanych z sytuacją społeczno-ekonomiczną dzieci polskich imigrantów w norweskim środowisku szkolnym. Główna uwaga zostaje zwrócona na doświadczane przez dzieci dyskryminacje, wynikające ze zróżnicowania statusu społecznego (w porównaniu z dziećmi norweskimi), wspomnienia i przeżycia przemocy rówieśniczej w postaci dręczenia (ang. bullying) oraz tworzenie indywidualnych strategii zaradczych w obliczu „pracy rówieśniczej”. Dowodzimy, że manifestowane przez dzieci nierówności społeczno-ekonomiczne przejawiają się w aktach bullyingu. Ponadto ukazujemy rolę norweskiej szkoły i środowiska szkolnego w przebiegu integracji dzieci polskich imigrantów, kształtowania ich samooceny, oceny statusu społecznego rodziny oraz oceny poziomu zamożności kraju pochodzenia i przybycia. Artykuł bazuje na wynikach dwóch projektów badawczych: „Doświadczenia dzieci dorastających transnarodowo” (zadanie nr 5 prowadzone w ramach polsko-norweskiego projektu Transfam w latach 2013–2016) oraz „Proces adaptacji dzieci polskich imigrantów. Badania terenowe w Norwegii” (projekt doktorancki realizowany w latach 2013–2014 w Instytut Socjologii Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego).

This article discusses a mosaic of unfavorable aspects related to the socio-economic situation of children of Polish immigrants in the Norwegian school environment. The main focus is placed on discrimination experienced by these children due to non-majority social status (as compared to Norwegian children). Moreover, we examine memories and experiences of peer violence in a form of bullying and individual coping strategies seen as ‘peer work’. We demonstrate that socio-economic inequalities manifested by children can be seen in the bullying acts. In addition, we show the role of the Norwegian school and the school environment in a process of integration among the children of Polish immigrants. We note how it shapes their self-esteem, as well as assess social status of a family and the economic situation in the countries of origin and arrival. The article is based on the results of two research projects: Children’s experience of growing up transnationally (Work Package 5 conducted within the Transfam project between 2013 and 2016) and The adaptation process of children of Polish immigrants. Field research in Norway (a doctoral project implemented in 2013–2014 at the Institute of Sociology of the Jagiellonian University).
