This Handbook is the definitive resource for anyone wishing to
quickly look up and understand key concepts and measurements
relating to socioeconomic position and inequalities. A range of key
concepts is defined and measures of socioeconomic position and
inequality described. Alphabetical listings, cross-referencing,
graphs and worked examples, references to web and other sources of
further information, all contribute to making the Handbook both
engaging and accessible for a wide audience. For students,
academics and others involved in social science research it answers
questions such as: * 'What's the official government measure of
poverty?' * 'What factors make up the Townsend Index of
Deprivation?' * 'What is a gini coefficient?' * 'I have to write a
report on tackling inequalities in my area - what are the key
issues I should consider before I begin?' For practitioners, policy
makers, journalists and others who must read, understand and use
research in fields as diverse as health, criminology, education,
the environment, transport and housing it provides a one-stop,
authoritative guide to making sense of and evaluating the
significance of often complex methodologies. The authors are all
eminent researchers in the field of health inequalities. They have
together produced two glossaries for the Journal of Epidemiology
and Community Health and have published a large number of books and
articles in learned academic journals.
