Description: This volume presents cross-nationally comparative evidence on income inequality trends, women's employment and its effect on inequality, the distribution of wealth, and the interaction of politics with inequality across several mainly high-income countries.
Review Quotes: "This book is a valuable addition to the existing literature on economic inequality . . . This is an excellent book that is highly recommended to those with an interest in all aspects of income distribution in contemporary societies . . . [Gornick and Jäntti] need to be congratulated for broadening the focus beyond a purely economic perspective on the issues under examination."--Peter Saunders, Review of Income and Wealth
