The issues surrounding poverty and inequality continue to be of
central concern to academics, politicians and policy makers but the
way in which we seek to study and understand them continues to
change over time. This accessible new book seeks to provide a guide
to some of the new approaches that have been developed in the light
of international initiatives to reduce poverty and the notable
increases in income inequality and poverty that have occurred
across many western countries in recent years. These new approaches
have to some degree been facilitated by the emergence of new
techniques and a growing availability of data that enables cross
national comparisons not only of income variables but also of
measures of welfare such as education achievement, nutritional
status in developing countries and wealth and deprivation
indicators in the developed world. Including specially commissioned
research from a distinguished list of international authors, this
volume makes a real contribution to the public debate surrounding
inequality and poverty as well as providing new empirical
information about them from around the world.
