Mon, 20 Oct 2025 18:40:00 +0900

edited by Alberto Minujin, Enrique Delamonica. Handbook on child poverty and inequality. Edward Elgar Publishing; Edward Elgar Publishing, [2025]; ©2025, Elgar handbooks on inequality. ISBN:9781802200423; 1802200428
This Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the conceptualisation and the latest developments in research about child poverty and inequality. Adopting a child rights framework, it demonstrates the importance of a multi-dimensional understanding of poverty specific to children for both research and policy-making. Expert authors analyse inequalities, inequities, and poverty experienced by children. They cover key topics including the voices of children living in poverty, the use of machine learning and big data in research, and the emotional, physical and social dimensions of poverty experienced by children. Recognising the extensive links between child poverty and inequality in practice, the Handbook identifies how to overcome the current disconnect between research on the two topics. Drawing on empirical evidence, it explores how to create and enhance national and international policies to address, reduce, and ultimately eliminate child poverty and inequalities. The Handbook on Child Poverty and Inequality is an essential resource for students and scholars across a wide range of disciplines, including of development studies, the sociology of youth and childhood, and social policy in emerging countries. It is also a valuable read for policy-makers seeking to uphold and expand the rights of children --

"The Research Handbook on Intergenerational Inequality is motivated by a core question in social science: to what extent does one's family background and childhood experience predict success in life? This innovative Research Handbook provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary account of research on intergenerational inequality, focusing on its origins in sociology and economics. Expert contributors explore patterns of intergenerational persistence, how mobility varies for different groups, and the processes through which intergenerational inequality is produced. Chapters cover a range of novel topics including the intergenerational reproduction of elites, parental joblessness and its intergenerational impact, and the role of migration for intergenerational mobility. Bringing together experts from across the globe and from a variety of social science disciplines, the Research Handbook campaigns for greater cross-fertilisation between disciplinary boundaries and encourages future researchers to develop a deeper understanding of current mobility in order to better inform and improve social policy. This incisive Research Handbook will serve as a crucial reference point for researchers, scholars and students of social sciences, sociology, social policy, and economics. Its practical applications will also be highly beneficial for policymakers and practitioners working in social affairs"

edited by Udaya R. Wagle. Research handbook on poverty and inequality. Edward Elgar Publishing; Edward Elgar Publishing, [2023], Elgar handbooks on inequality. ISBN:1800882297; 9781800882294
Covering global, comparative, and single-country contexts, this Research Handbook presents wide-ranging, cutting-edge research on poverty and inequality. It maps out international trends in poverty and inequality and explores the key conceptual and operational frameworks, practical analyses, and policy applications and outcomes. Udaya R. Wagle brings together 27 substantive chapters with research and analyses from a diverse body of established authorities and researchers to create a forum and examine the complex and often under-explored issues related to poverty and inequality. Using empirical data and insights from the Americas, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, the individual chapters examine and explain how economic and social policies and programs have affected poverty and inequality. While unprecedented economic progress in the past few decades has improved standards of living across the globe, the Handbook concludes that creating a just and fair society requires policies that go beyond expanding economic opportunities. Providing a comprehensive coverage of the research and analysis into poverty and inequality, this incisive Handbook will be an invaluable reference text for students and scholars of economics, sociology, social policy, and comparative and development studies. The practical insights into policies and programs covered here will also benefit policymakers and practitioners interested in reducing poverty and inequality globally. --

"This cutting-edge Handbook offers fresh perspectives on the key topics related to the unequal use of digital technologies. Considering the ways in which technologies are employed, variations in conditions under which people use digital media and differences in their digital skills, it unpacks the implications of digital inequality on life outcomes. International contributors assess a variety of key contexts that impact access to digital technologies, including contextual variations related to geography and infrastructure, as well as individual differences related to age, income, health and disability status. Chapters explore how variations emerge across the life course, illustrating the effects of digital disparities on personal wellbeing. Intervening in critical debates relating to the digital divide, this Handbook offers key insights into privacy and trust issues that affect technological usage. Employing both quantitative and qualitative investigations into the relationship between social inequality and the Internet, this Handbook is crucial reading for scholars and researchers in both communication and sociology, particularly those focusing on digital inequalities and human-computer interactions.
