Comparative analysis provides a new look into the ongoing drive for welfare state retrenchment amidst increasing heterogeneity across many countries and its impacts on inequality and poverty, and how population heterogeneity with regard to race and ethnicity, religion, and immigration is linked with causes and consequences of the welfare state. This book presents integrative analysis of how heterogeneity may feed into inequality and poverty directly, through low socioeconomic status of minorities, and indirectly, through impacts on the broader sociopolitical attitudes and politics, policy provisions, and practices of the welfare state. These direct and indirect roles will be examined in a comprehensive framework by incorporating both cross-national and temporal variations. Findings point to the central roles of immigration in determining welfare state policies and their impacts on inequality and poverty. Although other forms of heterogeneity are not as strongly related, their close affinity with immigration in these immigrant-receiving countries helps to put findings into a broader context. The presentation of descriptive data drawn from a number of fragmented sources will provide an important insight into the variations and their potential causes. This book will discuss the relevant concepts and contexts by drawing from the existing research base and from simple to more sophisticated analyses. Students, researchers, policymakers, and other readers interested in comparative welfare state will benefit from an integrative analysis presented in this reference book. 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aComparative politics 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010 606 $aComparative Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aComparative politics. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aSocial Structure, Social Inequality. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 676 $a305 676 $a305.8 676 $a320 676 $a330 700 $aWaglé$b Udaya R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065630 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438083903321 996 $aThe Heterogeneity Link of the Welfare State and Redistribution$92547234 997 $aUNINA
