About
N. V. Ventsel’s research centers on the sociology of the middle class, social stratification, and the societal impacts of technological modernization, particularly within the context of the fourth industrial revolution. Her most cited work, "New middle class as a leveling factor of social uncertainty in the conditions of modernization challenges of Industry" (2020), offers a critical analysis of how Industry 4.0 reshapes class structures and income distribution. In this study, Ventsel demonstrates that while the middle class can serve as a buffer against social uncertainty, the digital revolution paradoxically drives income polarization across different population segments. With 2 citations, this paper provides a foundational perspective on the tension between technological progress and social equity. Ventsel’s contributions are valuable for scholars examining the intersection of economic modernization, class dynamics, and social stability. Her work highlights the dual role of the middle class as both a stabilizing force and a group vulnerable to the dislocating effects of rapid industrial change, offering insights relevant to policymakers and sociologists studying contemporary inequality.
