They illustrate the distinct dimensions of poverty in a range of different political and cultural settings and also show how poverty is exacerbated by quite discrete local cultural factors in some instances. There is,nonetheless a universal element which runs through all the contributions. The fate of those who are disadvantaged in society depends crucially on their access to goods through the world of work. Thus gender, ethnic background or disability can result in individuals having a much higher chance of experiencing poverty than those outwith these groups and the success of these groups in achieving a measure of prosperity is bound up with a multiplicity of geographical and political factors. This book is part of the On?ati International Series in Law and Society."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aOnati international series in law and society. 517 1 $aPoverty & the law 606 $aPoor laws$vCongresses 606 $aPoverty$vCongresses 606 $aSocial legislation$vCongresses 606 $aSocial policy$vCongresses 606 $2Jurisprudence & philosophy of law 615 0$aPoor laws 615 0$aPoverty 615 0$aSocial legislation 615 0$aSocial policy 676 $a344.0325 702 $aKjønstad$b Asbjørn 702 $aRobson$b Peter$f1947- 712 02$aOnati International Institute for the Sociology of Law. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958533403321 996 $aPoverty and the law$94472584 997 $aUNINA
