Conclusion : does class matter in Singapore?This book provides a comprehensive portrait of class structure, dynamics, and orientations in Singapore - understood as a new nation, a capitalist and emerging knowledge economy, a largely middle-class society, and a polity with a strong state - at the turn of the new millennium. It introduces a wide array of recent data on a broad range of topics relating to social stratification in Singapore: class structure, political participation, political alienation, national pride, welfarism, success values, unionism, social mobility, the digital divide, and the sandwich generation. To capture the lived experiences of people from different social classes, thereby complementing the numerous tables presented, the book also profiles six case studies of individuals or families, highlighting the challenges they face and the options they possess.Social classesSingaporeSingaporeSocial conditionsSocial classes305.5095957Tan Ern Ser1531948MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782120903321Does class matter3777927UNINA02829nam 2200661 a 450 991082332920332120200520144314.01-281-43097-897866114309790-226-26794-610.7208/9780226267944(CKB)1000000000401037(EBL)408249(OCoLC)476228207(SSID)ssj0000143119(PQKBManifestationID)11158947(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000143119(PQKBWorkID)10128934(PQKB)11654011(MiAaPQ)EBC408249(DE-B1597)535765(OCoLC)781253696(DE-B1597)9780226267944(Au-PeEL)EBL408249(CaPaEBR)ebr10230018(CaONFJC)MIL143097(EXLCZ)99100000000040103719811014d1982 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEconomic aspects of health /edited by Victor R.

Determinants of health -- pt. 2. Consequences of ill health -- pt. 3. Health and public policy.Unlike earlier work in medical economics, which has focused on medical care, these ten papers stress the production and consequences of health itself. They reveal a serious concern with real-world health problems in their investigation of such subjects as infant mortality, life expectancy, morbidity, and disability. These papers are unusual, as well, in bringing to bear on these problems new and powerful theoretical and statistical tools. They draw on, and in some cases are, original sources for new bodies of data. As such, Economic Aspects of Health comprises a useful blend of relevance and rigor.Conference report (National Bureau of Economic Research)Medical economicsCongressesHealth status indicatorsCongressesMedical economicsHealth status indicators362.1/042Fuchs Victor R46998NBER Conference on Health Economics(2nd :1980 :Stanford, Calif.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823329203321Economic aspects of health4083028UNINA
