Description
Book SynopsisIn the past few years, one of the most misunderstood concepts is income disparity. Income inequality issues are now a concern for the public. However, it was heightened by the recession in 2008-09, resulting in consequences for the corporate sector, the Occupy Wall Street movement, Covid-19 pandemic and a myriad of other events. This book analyzed how income disparity is rising with higher income distribution margins witnessed among the highest earners. This book has thirteen chapters, eliminating the introductory overview chapter, on income disparity, poverty, and economic well-being. These chapters were authored by academics who publish articles on these issues on a regular basis. The literature on these issues is substantial, and research interest in these topics has a long history. Furthermore, it is fairly unusual for academics' viewpoints on these subjects to disagree. In light of this, the subjects of the articles may best be regarded as representing the contributors' different viewpoints. Graduate students and professional researchers will also find these guides an excellent contribution to supplemental teaching in economic fields, especially labor economics, macroeconomics, and economic policies.
Trade ReviewThis book, edited by Professor Meltem Ince-Yenilmez and Associate Professor Ufuk Bingol, presents and analyses income disparity, poverty, and economic well-being in emerging countries. Each chapter provides significant contributions to the literature. The strongest feature is the correct and sound econometric/statistical analysis and methodologies followed in the chapters. It is a perfect fit for the researchers working on the gender gap, discrimination, income inequality, and poverty in emerging economies. It can be used as an additional text for graduate classes.

This book outlines pathways that rising nations may follow to restore their power to act and improve people's living standards in the long run. Markets, according to the prevailing economic theory, are vital engines of prosperity and poverty eradication. Financial markets and capital flight may penalize policy efforts aimed at achieving a more equitable income distribution or increasing public investment. The book addresses these concerns by examining major economic underpinnings and providing possible development plans. As a result, it is a must-read for policymakers and practitioners striving to combat global poverty, as well as economists and students interested in gaining a better knowledge of emerging economics, poverty, and financial economics.

Growing inequality is now a global megatrend. Unlike other megatrends, which benefit some stakeholders and harm others, in the long run inequality harms everyone. In the aftermath of the pandemic and against the backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions, inequality is becoming a harder challenge. Reducing it is a unique opportunity to improve the state of affairs for future generations. For this reason this volume is both very important and timely.
