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"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Equality |zUnited States. 650 0 Income distribution |zUnited States. 650 7 Equality. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00914456 650 7 Income distribution. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00968670 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 Nico, Magda, |eeditor. 700 1 Pollock, Gary, |eeditor. 910 |cD0401mon |d3110-99 914 (OCoLC)on1259048075 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240717 |eprocessed |f1259048075 960 |o1 |zUSD 961 |fBB |m311099 |nCloth 980 17530475 |i250.00 982 |cf 984 20220511 |b170030
