Postsecondary Education for First-Generation and Low-Income Students in the Ivy League
Author: Kerry H. LandersPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319634569
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
This book examines how previously excluded high-achieving, low-income students are faring socially and academically at an Ivy League college in New England. In the past, research conducted on low-income students in elite schools focused mainly on the admissions process. As a result, there is a dearth of research on what happens to low-income students once they are admitted and attend classes. This book chronicles an ethnographic study of twenty low-income men and women in their senior year at Dartmouth College and follows up with them four and twelve years post-graduation. By helping to bring visibility and self-awareness to low-income students and expose class issues and struggles, the author hopes to encourage elite institutions to change their policies and practices to address the needs of these students.

Growth with Inequality
Author: Jinjun XuePublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814401714
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
In the era of globalization and liberalization, the world is enjoying high growth as well as suffering from the ill-effects of unequal distribution of its economic outcomes. The activities of anti-government demonstrations in China and across the world via the Occupy Wall Street Movement highlight that inequality has become an international phenomenon. It is apparent in both poor countries under authoritarianism and rich countries governed by a democratic regime. Thus, inequality has become not only a hurdle to development but also a threat to social and political stability. The spread of the Jasmine Revolution across parts of North Africa and the Arab Spring are illustrative of what can happen under certain circumstances. This book confirms the inconsistencies between high growth and increasing inequality via a series of case studies across 11 countries, numerous regions, and OECD members. Many of the case studies draw upon original household surveys. Our findings indicate the seriousness of income inequality, explore factors that have caused the inequality and analyze their economic and social consequences. The book raises, and deals with, three key questions: (1) Can high growth reduce inequality gradually? (2) Can government intervention be effective in equalizing income distribution? (3) Is the income disparity an engine for, or an obstacle of, high growth?

Keywords:Income Distribution;Globalization and Liberation;Unequal Distribution;Income Disparity;Emerging EconomiesKey Features:Income disparity is a hot topic in the 21st century. This book reflects the latest developments of economic growth and income disparity with case studies of 11 countries. It reveals how serious is the inequality, where inequality comes from and how to deal with these issuesThe book contains basic theories and analysis and methodologies for the subject of income distribution which helps readers to have a better understanding about growth and inequality and learn how to analyze the issuesThe empirical researchers conducted in the book are based on original household surveys and the latest public data. It displays a real picture of the countries with reliable dataThe authors are leading experts of the field and are from countries like China, India, Korea, Japan, the UK, the USA and Germany. They elaborate on the economic growth and income disparity in depth. Meanwhile, the emerging economies like China and India are main targets in the bookReviews: “Is rapid economic growth compatible with acceptably low income inequality? Is inequality good or bad for growth? Is growth good or bad for inequality? This book presents eleven country studies and several chapters on specific relationships between growth and inequality. It therefore provides a wealth of information that will help to answer these questions of great and growing importance in today's world.“ Professor John Knight The University of Oxford “China's economic growth and structural change in the reform era and its acceleration in the early twenty first century are reshaping the global economy. Perceptions of whether the fruits of growth have been distributed equitably will determine whether growth retains its priority. This interesting and important book sheds new light on these big questions. Some of the new insights are surprising.“ Professor Ross Garnaut Vice-Chancellor's Fellow “This book shows that income disparity is a result of economic and social development and that increasing inequality may lead to social and political instability. This, in turn, is likely to affect the economic development process. This is particularly the case in China where increasing income disparity is pushing the country to the tipping point that may affect China's modernization process.“ Professor Li Shi Beijing Normal University “This book provides a useful assessment of growth and inequality in a rapidly changing world. Several chapters focus on the growing concerns with rising inequality, the cause and effect of such inequality, and its relation to overall growth and poverty reduction. This book will assist the international development community in understanding inequality in today's world as well as providing a useful pedagogical tool for policy makers and other researchers.“ Shaohua Chen Senior Statistician The Development Economics Research Group of the World Bank
Income Inequality and Employment

Category : Discrimination in employment
Languages : en
Pages : 844
Book Description
This study specifically describes and analyzes the process by which poverty-stricken individuals and families move out of the poverty group: from welfare, to low- wage employment, and finally, to a level above poverty, or even the middle-income category. It is a synthesis / analysis of over 50 Research and Development ( R& D ) projects sponsored by the Employment and Training Administration ( ETA), on the subjects of income and employment. In addition, selected contributions from other sources are included in order to clarify or supplement the treatment of the basic issues. Several of these contributions have examined how individuals on welfare become gainfully employed and once employed, move into jobs with wages adequate to raise their standard of living above the poverty level. Findings of these R & D projects, when examined as a body of cumulative knowledge, can be used as a framework for developing effective policies and techniques for the various employment and training programs focused on the economically disadvantaged.
