As human and cultural capital, academic elites play an influential and positive role in societal development. One of today's social issues is the accelerating migration of elites, which the present study seeks to explore the barriers to the permanence of academic elites from the perspective of their lived experiences using a qualitative research method. The data collection tool was in-depth and semi-structured interviews, and the data analysis technique was thematic analysis. The basic, organizing, and global themes were extracted from the interview transcripts. The findings of the study show that "economic instability, job insecurity, relative deprivation, feelings of insecurity, decline in creativity and scientific production, weakness of the research position, lack of financial and welfare support, weakness of the recruitment and employment system, dominance of a quantitative perspective and lack of a differentiated perspective, bureaucratic problems and administrative system, lack of a desirable scientific and political environment, feelings of discrimination, cultural gap, Educational and cultural concerns for children, and family pressures and tensions" are among the barriers to the permanence of academic elites in Iran. The everyday life of elites is trapped in multiple inefficiencies in various realms, all of which constitute barriers to retaining elites. Moreover, elites are caught in a struggle between the dominance of economics in everyday life and the pursuit of non-material concerns. "

Changes in the Everyday Life of the Older persons during the Covid-19 Pandemic; A Qualitative StudyShiva Parvaei[1]Majid Koosheshi[2] AbstractIn this study, the lived experience of the older persons in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic as a social and risk experience was analyzed and the most important changes in the everyday life of the elderly were discovered. The method of this study is based on a qualitative research design. To data collection has been used from semi-structured interviews with the elderly (or their children) and thematic analysis technique to analyze qualitative data. The results show that older persons have experienced multiple changes in their everyday life. These changes have been in economic dimensions, physical health, mental health and family and social relations. The results indicate that the issues of the elderly in the Covid-19 pandemic period are not only individual but also family and social issues. This matter refers to the importance of family and intergenerational interactions in the everyday life of the elderly. In addition, the consequences of this period on the everyday life of the older persons include not only direct effects but also indirect consequences. In this regard, we can point to the economic consequences of Covid-19 on the working life of youth and adult children, which not only led to a decrease in children's support for older parents but also led to their anxiety and worry. In addition, we can point to a decline in the health capital of the older persons and deaths which is due to the delay in following up on health status and treatment. Ageing is a social and unequal experience and these studies are very useful for the social policy of ageing and family.
