On 20 October 2025 at 2:00 PM, the Young Economists Society of Uzbekistan hosted a public lecture by Professor Ted Gerber at New Uzbekistan University. The session, titled “Market Transition and Social Stratification: Key Findings from More Than Three Decades of Comparative Research,” examined the profound social and economic transformations that accompanied the transition from state socialism to market economies in the late 20th century.
Professor Gerber, a leading scholar in social stratification, migration, and inequality in Russia and the post-Soviet region, presented insights from decades of comparative sociological and economic research. He highlighted how market transitions have shaped patterns of inequality, social mobility, and stratification across post-socialist societies, providing participants with a deeper understanding of the dynamics of social change.
Former Director of the Center for Russia, East Europe, and Central Asia (CREECA) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Professor Gerber continues to advance comparative research in Eurasia. This lecture offered students and attendees a unique opportunity to engage with a world-renowned expert and gain valuable perspectives on the interplay between economic transformation and social structure.
