Sociologists are generally in agreement that the closing decades of the twentieth century involved striking changes in the landscape against which British young people grew up. Transformations in education and the labour market had the potential to dramatically alter and re-shape patterns of social inequality. This thesis addresses the importance of family effects upon educational attainment, e...

Throughout Europe, reports of problematic housing situations for young adults have increasingly emerged during the last decades. This paper explores experiences among living in a disadvantaged area Malmö, Sweden, taking concept inequality as its point departure. The results suggest how become stuck between number parallel markets, leaving them no choice other than illegal rental market – charac...

Abstract. In this paper, we present an alternative approach to a priori L∞-error estimates for the piecewise linear nite element approximation of the classical obstacle problem. Our approach is based on stability results for discretized obstacle problems and on error estimates for the nite element approximation of functions under pointwise inequality constraints. As an outcome, we obtain the sa...

Cahokia Mound 72 contains 272 human burials dating to the Lohmann and early Stirling phases (ca. 1050–1150 AD) of the Mississippian period. Substantial statusand gender-related differences in burial style are apparent. Some burials are associated with large quantities of prestigious grave goods, suggesting high status. Mass graves of young adult females with skeletal indicators of poor health s...

The subject of the study is economic inequality citizens in Russia. Russia has been at a consistently high level for 30 years, but it not permanent or static. Inequality being transformed: new forms are emerging, such as digital inequality, balance life and work, field health, coronacrisis. differences between richest poorest consumption products decreasing volume, quality increasing. This indi...

Background Exploring changes in health inequality and its determinants over time is of policy interest. Accordingly, this study aimed to decompose inequality in neonatal mortality into its contributing factors and then explore changes from 1995-2000 to 2005-2010 in Iran.   Methods Required data were drawn from two Iran’s demographic and health survey (DHS) conducted in 2000 and 2010. Normalized...

in this paper a general view of the gini decomposition is presented. in order to decompose the gini coefficient into within group inequality, between group inequality and transvariation inequality of the iranian urban and rural areas, the 2006 and 2010  micro-data and dagum (1997) method is used. the results indicate that about 48 percent of the inequality in the country as a whole has been due...

The growth in income inequality over the last 25 years was tracked by the growth in prison and jail incarceration rates. We report age-specific incarceration rates by education, race and ethnicity and relate these to the growing dispersion of men’s incomes. We then review research linking the growth in the penal system to rising inequality. Some researchers trace rising inequality to rising cri...

Several inequalities of Kahane-Khintchine’s type in certain Orlicz spaces are proved. For this the classical symmetrization technique is used and four basically different methods have been presented. The first two are based on the well-known estimates for subnormal random variables, see [9], the third one is a consequence of a certain Gaussian-Jensen’s majorization technique, see [6], and the f...
