A Research Agenda for Skills and Inequality offers an insightful cross-disciplinary framework for research on how unequal living conditions form, persist and change in interplay with human skill formation and development. Drawing on prominent new advances in the field, this incisive Research Agenda builds a forward-thinking framework for research. Spanning an extensive eighteen chapters, each examining a specific but major aspect of the general theme of skills and inequality, the book provides a comprehensive overview of links between the two. Against the backdrop of established insights from related but separate fields of inquiry, including economics, sociology, demography, human resource management, political science, philosophy and psychology, the Research Agenda presents an exciting overview of recent advances in analyses of skills and inequality. Opening vistas for future research based on extensive literature reviews and new findings, this Research Agenda offers compact, ground-breaking essays for students, policy makers, and advanced researchers in many disciplines including social policy, business management, and employment relations. 410 0$aElgar Research Agendas Series 606 $aSkilled labor$xResearch 606 $aAbility$xResearch 606 $aIncome distribution$xResearch 606 $aEquality$xResearch 615 0$aSkilled labor$xResearch. 615 0$aAbility$xResearch. 615 0$aIncome distribution$xResearch. 615 0$aEquality$xResearch. 676 $a153.9 702 $aTa?hlin$b Michael 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910729782703321 996 $aA research agenda for skills and inequality$93391987 997 $aUNINA
