Inequality and Poverty

Over recent decades, income and wealth disparities have surged in advanced, emerging, and developing nations. A substantial portion of the global population remains impoverished, with resources and opportunities skewed towards the privileged. Economic growth, globalization, technological shifts, labor market changes, social safety net alterations, and demographic shifts exacerbate inequality and poverty. Without targeted policies, the chasm between the wealthy and the poor will widen. Inequality, deeply ingrained in India's societal fabric, persists today, fueled by caste, class, gender, location, and resource access disparities. The book presents multidisciplinary perspectives on inequality and poverty, highlighting the marginalization of vulnerable groups in education, health, empowerment, and development. It underscores the need for inclusive policies to uplift the disadvantaged and aid policy formulation for their betterment.
