Solutions are often sought in supporting individuals to make better choices. This neglects the importance of social groups and communities in determining individual outcomes. A moral perspective on social inequality questions the fairness of insisting on individual responsibilities, when members of some groups systematically receive fewer opportunities than others. The essays in this book have been prepared by experts from different disciplines, ranging from philosophy to engineering, and from economics to epidemiology. On the basis of recent scientific insights, World of Difference examines how group memberships impact on individual outcomes in four key domains: health, education and work, migration, and the environment. This offers a new moral perspective on social inequality, which policy makers tend to neglect.Ethics & moral philosophybicsscSocial inequality, Morality, Group-level processes, Scientific perspective, health, education, work, environment, migration.Ethics & moral philosophy100LB 45000rvkEllemers Naomiedt1228093Ellemers NaomiothDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910340843203321World of Difference: a moral perspective on social inequality3569876UNINA
