Description
Understanding Inequalities: Stratification and Difference by Lucinda Platt This fully revised edition brings together the latest empirical evidence and theoretical debates to examine a broad range of inequalities in people's lives. It explores how social class, gender, ethnicity, disability, and migration status intersect with education, health, poverty, neighbourhoods, and housing, shaping life chances across multiple dimensions. Richly illustrated with figures and concrete examples, the book demonstrates how inequalities cumulate across the life course, structuring people's lives in complex ways. The updated edition includes new chapters on disability and international migration, providing a detailed and theoretically sophisticated account of contemporary inequalities that will be valuable to students of social science.
