"Bringing together the most recent empirical evidence and the latest theoretical debates, this fully revised new edition gets to grips with a broad range of inequalities in people's lives. Examining social class, gender, ethnicity, disability and migration status, it demonstrates how these play out in relation to education, health, poverty, neighbourhood and housing, and how they cumulate across the life course. Richly illustrated with figures and concrete examples showing the distribution of life chances across social groups, the book shows how people's lives are structured by inequalities across multiple dimensions. Comprehensive topical chapters are framed by an exploration of the meaning and interpretation of inequalities and a discussion highlighting the important intersections between them. With new chapters on disability and on international migration, this new edition continues to provide a wide-ranging but detailed and theoretically sophisticated account of contemporary inequalities that will be invaluable to undergraduate and masters students alike"-- "Bringing together the most recent empirical evidence and the latest theoretical debates, this fully revised new edition gets to grips with a broad range of inequalities in people's lives.

Panne de l’ascenseur social, fragilisation des pauvres, générations sacrifiées, dérive des classes moyennes : autant de ruptures qui se cristallisent dans la question du logement. Avec l’envolée des prix immobiliers et des loyers, et l’incapacité des politiques publiques à fournir des réponses efficaces à ces problèmes, le logement devient pour beaucoup une charge financière telle qu’elle contraint les modes de vie et transforme la vie sociale. Le logement entretient la ségrégation à l’œuvre. Dans la spirale des inégalités de logement, certains suffoquent, les nouveaux précaires – bas-revenus, statuts instables et une grande majorité de la jeunesse d’autres respirent, les détenteurs de patrimoine – les premiers nés du baby-boom, ainsi que toutes les familles, et leurs héritiers, qui ont investi au moment opportun. Première analyse des systèmes de stratification sociale et générationnelle sous le prisme du logement, ce livre se fonde sur une comparaison entre la France et le Royaume-Uni et offre des clés pour comprendre un des processus essentiels de la constitution des inégalités sociales contemporaines. Sans prétendre à une visée politique, cet ouvrage propose néanmoins certains outils et certaines réflexions pour répondre aux besoins de loger le plus grand nombre dans des conditions décentes et à des prix abordables.

This book considers the social and economic damage wrought by neo-liberalism, in Britain and beyond. Paul Taylor analyses the effects of the increasing inequalities of income and wealth in recent years, concluding that a wide range of problems for the middle sections of society can be traced to the appearance of a class of the 'über-rich', the example they set and the demands they make. He takes the view that what has happened is the opposite of the much vaunted 'trickle-down effect'; there is actually a 'trickle-up effect' not only in the distribution of wealth but also in the ownership of pr
