Conceptual and methodological advances and better data have provided better insights into these issues in recent years, and it is the objective of the book to present a systematic and up-to-date treatment of the developments in the subject. Both welfare theoretic and descriptive approaches are discussed and, since the wellbeing of a population depends on income and non-income indicators, both unidimensional and multidimensional frameworks are taken into consideration. The technical terms and mathematical operations employed to analyze the results are explained intuitively in non-technical terms, and numerical analyses and graphical representations help to illustrate important concepts.Economic Studies in Inequality, Social Exclusion and Well-Being,2364-107X ;6EconometricsDevelopment economicsStatistics Econometricshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29010Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Statistics for Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurancehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17010Econometrics.Development economics.Statistics .Econometrics.Development Economics.Statistics for Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance.339.201/519583.13bclChakravarty Satya Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut239019BOOK9910785186103321Inequality, Polarization and Poverty3693580UNINA
