Inequalities are not static, easily measurable, and essentially quantifiable circumstances of life. They are processes which impact on individuals throughout the life course, interacting with each other, accumulating, attenuating, reproducing, or distorting themselves along the way. The chapters in this handbook examine various types of inequality, such as economic, gender, racial, and ethnic inequalities, and analyse how these inequalities manifest themselves within different aspects of society, including health, education, and the family, at multiple levels and dimensions. The handbook also tackles the global COVID-19 pandemic and its striking impact on the production and intensification of inequalities. The interdisciplinary life course approach utilised in this handbook combines quantitative and qualitative methods to bridge the gap between theory and practice and offer strategies and principles for identifying and tackling issues of inequality. This book will be indispensable for students and researchers as well as activists and policy makers interested in understanding and eradicating the processes of production, reproduction, and perpetuation of inequalities. 588 Description based on print version record. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 Equality |zUnited States. 650 0 Income distribution |zUnited States. 700 1 Pollock, Gary, |eeditor. 700 1 Nico, Magda, |eeditor. 776 |z1-03-216351-8 776 |z1-138-60150-0 830 0 Routledge International Handbooks 906 BOOK
