FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Providing extensive surveys on the most recently developed themes of individual and social well-being, this Handbook offers a comprehensive treatment of less traditional approaches to empirical and theoretical research. The novel complementary perspective by which each topic is addressed presents a broader outlook on the various dimensions of inequality and well-being.Each topic is assessed through two accompanying chapters: first, a detailed study of the theoretical approaches, followed by a supporting chapter of empirical findings. The original contributions cover themes ranging from human development to social exclusion, and from going beyond GDP as the primary indicator of progress to evaluating the persistence of poverty. The chapters also address measures of vulnerability and economic insecurity. The Handbook emphasizes the distributional aspects of inequalities across different groups through the analysis of polarization, segregation, and social fractionalization.This is an excellent Handbook for postgraduates and researchers in the social sciences and economics. The contributions rethink some of the traditional theories and models for measuring inequality and well-being, and push the boundaries for future research. The policy-relevant insights will also be of great use for social policy professionals and analysts.Contributors include: C. Balestra, L. Bellani, R. Boarini, C. Calvo, B. Cantillon, O. Canto, L.

Review

This volume contains an excellent collection of chapters by outstanding economists on the subject of social and economic well-being. Among the authors are Lars Osberg, Carlos Gradin, Olga Canto, and Jacques Silber, with a first-rate overview provided by Conchita D'Ambrosio. The chapters are paired, with a theoretical analysis followed by an empirical implementation. Topics include well-being measures going beyond GDP, human development and poverty, multidimensional poverty and material deprivation, social exclusion, economic insecurity, relative deprivation and satisfaction, social inequality, social polarization, and segregation.'--Edward N. Wolff, New York University, US'This Handbook updates and modernizes decades of scholarship on macro-level markers of progress and micro-level measures of well-being. Its main contribution is its insistence on integrating non-traditional frameworks into conventional approaches to defining, measuring, and tracking socio-economic outcomes at multiple levels. This sophisticated collection spans a remarkable array of outcomes, dimensions, and indicators, including poverty, deprivation, development, exclusion, polarization, segregation, diversity, vulnerability, insecurity, and satisfaction. D'Ambrosio's ambitious decision to pair theoretical and empirical analyses of each topic pays off beautifully.'--Janet C. Gornick, City University of New York, Graduate Center, US
