Rezensionen

"The book discusses the issue from different perspectives using various indicators such as income and economic inequalities, poverty and social exclusion, categorical inequalities and social class and educational inequalities. ... It is an interesting read for all irrespective of ones' educational background - and for those who want to know more about the challenges relating to inequality that Europe currently faces." (Abhishek, European Journal of Social Security, Vol. 21(1), 2019)
