This book discusses the factors behind the inequalities embedded
within our social, economic and political systems. Social
inequalities are especially seen in the service sectors - in the
differences of access to healthcare, education, social protection,
housing systems, childcare, elderly care etc. Cultural inequality,
which segregates people from the mainstream based on recognition
problems with a specific groups' social status, language, religion,
customs and norms, is another widespread issue. This book tries to
present an accurate picture of these issues with cases studies from
various countries. Mostly, when we talk about inequality, the focus
is on economic inequality; however, much inequality persists,
especially discrimination due to gender, age, origin, ethnicity,
disability, sexual orientation, class, and religion. To end this
situation there is a need for social, economic, and political
reform. Until or unless the marginalized groups are empowered, the
inequality issue cannot be solved or even minimized. On the basis
of various case studies, this book encourages us to rethink
societal development through the lens of growing inequalities and
disparities. The book presents new insights for evaluating the
progress on social development. The book highlights the current
challenges of social inequality. In combination this collection of
edited papers gives an integrated understanding of the question of
"why is society unequal"? This book is aimed at those stakeholders,
who want to make or contribute to change and build an undivided,
socially inclusive society, and to those who want to contribute to
empowering society in the Twenty-First century. Topics discussed in
the book include: Problems and consequences of inequality Gender
