Exploring Social Inequality in the Twenty-First Century

In a world where the effects of inequality occupy an increasingly prominent place on the public agenda, this book provides up-to-date and thorough analysis from the perspective of a group of researchers at the forefront of social stratification analysis. Exploring Social Inequality in the Twenty-First Century provides the reader with a clear and critical overview of current debates about social inequality. It includes new information, tools and approaches to conceptualising and measuring social stratification and social class, as well as informative case studies. Throughout, the researchers describe the direct and indirect costs of social inequality.

Divided into two parts Conceptualising and Measuring Inequality, and Costs and Consequences of Inequality in the areas of Education, Employment, and Global Wealth it includes new findings about the growth of wealth inequality in the G20 countries, and a detailed examination of tax policies designed to reduce inequality without affecting economic growth. With substantial contributions to the analysis of inequalities in education, and explanations of the processes and consequences of social and gender-based exclusion, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding contemporary social inequality.

This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Contemporary Social Science.

Jennifer Jarman is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Lakehead University, Canada. Her research focuses on changes shaping contemporary labour forces and their consequences for equality.

Paul Lambert is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Stirling, UK. His research focuses on methodological debates in the analysis of social stratification using statistical techniques.

Contemporary Issues in Social Science

Edited by
David Canter, University of Huddersfield, UK

Contemporary Social Science, the journal of the Academy of Social Sciences, is an interdisciplinary, cross-national journal which provides a forum for disseminating and enhancing theoretical, empirical and/or pragmatic research across the social sciences and related disciplines. Reflecting the objectives of the Academy of Social Sciences, it emphasises the publication of work that engages with issues of major public interest and concern across the world, and highlights the implications of that work for policy and professional practice.

The Contemporary Issues in Social Science book series contains the journals most cutting-edge special issues. Leading scholars compile thematic collections of articles that are linked to the broad intellectual concerns of Contemporary Social Science, and as such these special issues are an important contribution to the work of the journal. The series editor works closely with the guest editor(s) of each special issue to ensure they meet the journals high standards. The main aim of publishing these special issues as a series of books is to allow a wider audience of both scholars and students from across multiple disciplines to engage with the work of Contemporary Social Science and the Academy of Social Sciences.
