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 ;v. 6.Income distributionMathematical modelsArmoedegttSociale achterstandgttIncome distributionMathematical models.Armoede.Sociale achterstand.339.201/519583.13bclChakravarty Satya R239019MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809309103321Inequality, Polarization and Poverty3919813UNINA
