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. 410 0$aEconomic studies in inequality, social exclusion and well-being ;$vv. 6. 606 $aIncome distribution$xMathematical models 606 $aArmoede$2gtt 606 $aSociale achterstand$2gtt 615 0$aIncome distribution$xMathematical models. 615 17$aArmoede. 615 17$aSociale achterstand. 676 $a339.201/5195 686 $a83.13$2bcl 700 $aChakravarty$b Satya R$0239019 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809309103321 996 $aInequality, Polarization and Poverty$93919813 997 $aUNINA
