Ebook: Income inequality: economic disparities and the middle class in affluent countries

This study presents original empirical research on economic inequality in affluent countries, using comparable data from two widely-recognised data sources: the Luxembourg Income Study Database and the Luxembourg Wealth Study Database. The volume's seventeen empirical chapters explore change over time in income inequality; the ways in which politics affects and is affected by economic inequality; the extent to which women's work, paid and unpaid, affects inequality; and cross-national comparisons of the distribution of various measures of household wealth.
