Understanding Work-Life Inequality - Michael Tåhlin

Chapters evaluate the impact of inequalities between individuals, in terms of personal abilities and access to productive positions, on labour-market rewards. Contributors also examine the issue on a global scale, demonstrating how skills, institutions and technological change drive economic growth and cross‑national variation in inequality. The book reveals how the subject is deeply rooted in historical growth patterns, connecting work-life inequality to broader societal transformations including political shifts, demographic change and global development.

Understanding Work-Life Inequality is a vital resource for scholars and students of sociology, psychology, economics, political science and philosophy. Policymakers and practitioners in human relations and business management will also benefit from its practical insights.
