Título : The Heterogeneity Link of the Welfare State and Redistribution : Ethnic Heterogeneity, Welfare State Policies, Poverty, and Inequality in High Income Countries Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Udaya R. Waglé ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Cham : Springer International Publishing Fecha de publicación: 2013 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XIII, 302 p. 18 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-319-02815-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Comparative politics Development economics Social structure inequality Economics Structure, Inequality Politics Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: Using data covering 1980 to 2005 across 17 high income countries, this book offers a thorough and systematic analysis of the relevance of population heterogeneity in determining variations in welfare state policies as well as inequality and poverty. Comparative analysis provides a new look into the ongoing drive for welfare state retrenchment amidst increasing heterogeneity across many countries and its impacts on inequality and poverty, and how population heterogeneity with regard to race and ethnicity, religion, and immigration is linked with causes and consequences of the welfare state. This book presents integrative analysis of how heterogeneity may feed into inequality and poverty directly, through low socioeconomic status of minorities, and indirectly, through impacts on the broader sociopolitical attitudes and politics, policy provisions, and practices of the welfare state. These direct and indirect roles will be examined in a comprehensive framework by incorporating both cross-national and temporal variations. Findings point to the central roles of immigration in determining welfare state policies and their impacts on inequality and poverty. Although other forms of heterogeneity are not as strongly related, their close affinity with immigration in these immigrant-receiving countries helps to put findings into a broader context. The presentation of descriptive data drawn from a number of fragmented sources will provide an important insight into the variations and their potential causes. This book will discuss the relevant concepts and contexts by drawing from the existing research base and from simple to more sophisticated analyses. Students, researchers, policymakers, and other readers interested in comparative welfare state will benefit from an integrative analysis presented in this reference book Nota de contenido: Introduction -- Ethnic Heterogeneity -- The Welfare State -- Poverty and Inequality -- Ethnic Heterogeneity and the Welfare State -- Ethnic Heterogeneity and Poverty and Inequality -- Conclusion -- References -- Index En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-02815-6 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36476 The Heterogeneity Link of the Welfare State and Redistribution : Ethnic Heterogeneity, Welfare State Policies, Poverty, and Inequality in High Income Countries [documento electrónico] / Udaya R.

To gauge the effects of mobile phones on these aspects, the author refers to the standard concept of technology adoption and also analyses the actual utilization of mobile phones as a means of communication and the degree to which they have supplanted fixed-line phones. Readers will learn why the substitution effect is stronger among poor than rich users and why the benefits of some mobile phone projects are confined to the local or village level, while in other projects the gains can be felt throughout the economy as a whole Nota de contenido: Introduction -- The Diffusion of Mobile Phones in the Historical Context of Innovations from Developed Countries -- To What Extent are the Poor Engaged With Mobile Telephony -- A Pro-Poor-Bias: Leapfrogging and the Internet -- Micro, Macro and Scaling Effects -- Patterns of Mobile Phone Use in Africa -- Mobile Phones and Safety in Developing Countries: Further Evidence -- Mobile Phone Use in Africa: Implications for Inequality and the Digital Divide En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-27368-6 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=42185 The Impact of Mobile Phones on Poverty and Inequality in Developing Countries [documento electrónico] / Jeffrey James ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2016 . - VIII, 93 p. 4 illus. in color : online resource. - (SpringerBriefs in Economics, ISSN 2191-5504) .

Título : Extreme Inequalities in Contemporary Capitalism : Should We Be Concerned About the Rich? Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Maurizio Franzini ; Elena Granaglia ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Michele Raitano Editorial: Cham : Springer International Publishing Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: X, 128 p. 13 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-319-28811-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Political economy Ethics Economic policy Social Labor economics structure inequality Economics Policy Structure, Inequality Economy Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: This book explores the mechanisms by which top incomes are achieved through work in today's advanced economies and asks to what extent current extreme inequalities are compatible with widely held values of social justice. Reflecting on the heterogeneity of the working rich, the authors argue that very high earnings often result not from heightened competition induced by globalization but rather from a lack of competition, or at best deficient competition. It is proposed that such incomes cannot be justified in terms of efficiency or merit and do not generate positive trickle-down effects with benefits for all of society; rather, extreme inequalities in earnings risk jeopardizing equality of opportunity. The book concludes by offering a wide array of innovative policy prescriptions that are not punitive in intent and are not merely directed toward income redistribution. Readers will find the book to be a fascinating source of insights into the subject of the working rich, which remains largely unexplored within both economics and ethics Nota de contenido: 1 The planet of the rich: an exploration -- 2 The super-rich, competition and power -- 3 The super-rich: a matter of desert? -- 4 Extreme inequality, well-being, freedom -- 5 Why worry about the super-rich?
