The author demonstrates possible ways of conceptualizing the phenomenon of Intergenerational Inheritance of Inequalities and its structural as well as micro-social determinants present in current academic discourses. Touching upon the key issues of the influence of family of origin and other factors impacting life trajectories of young people, the author takes note of controversies occurring within the discourses. These considerations make up a wide theoretical context for the studies on reproduction of social inequalities undertaken by the PROFIT project.
