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. 606 $aEthics & moral philosophy$2bicssc 610 $aSocial inequality, Morality, Group-level processes, Scientific perspective, health, education, work, environment, migration. 615 7$aEthics & moral philosophy 676 $a100 686 $aLB 45000$2rvk 700 $aEllemers$b Naomi$4edt$01228093 702 $aEllemers$b Naomi$4oth 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910340843203321 996 $aWorld of Difference: a moral perspective on social inequality$93569876 997 $aUNINA
