Both conceptions consider unfair inequalities in life outcomes that result from ascribed characteristics such as social origin, migration background, and sex. However, they differ in that liberal inequality of opportunity considers ...

Even comprehensive reviews and meta-analyses are limited by the availability of effect sizes, the control for relevant confounders, and the way time is treated in the analyses. To overcome these limitations, we conducted a coordinated data ...
