Social and Economic Inequality

Economic growth and development depend on all citizens who have the opportunity to maximize the possibilities, whether in the form of family members, career paths or other long-term goals. MPRC researchers are studying race / ethnicity, social class, age, sex, career and birth / immigration inequality with this subject and other landmark themes

MPRC research in this category is unique in that it focuses on important institutional background. Censuses usually focus on individuals or households as a unit of analysis, but from an ecological point of view, individuals and families are nested within a wider set of institutional contexts. These agencies include domestic or domestic situations on prison, criminal justice system, health system, family and welfare policy, labor market, military, enterprise, school, population related behavior.

Social and economic inequality occurs in various ways. In this article, we focus on inequality of power, then income inequality. Data on income distribution is very extensive. In contrast, since distribution data is essentially absent, agents must be used to measure the dimension of this inequality. First of all, I think in theory the reason why inequality can be expected to affect environmental protection. Section 2 explains the power and its role in decision making of the social environment. In Section 3, we formulate this effect through "Social Decision Making Regulations that emphasize power" and propose two hypotheses. More unequal distribution often leads to a reduction in environmental protection and environmental degradation

Abstract: Social and economic inequality can affect the cost and benefit distribution of environmental degradation and the degree of environmental protection. When people who benefit from environmentally deteriorating economic activity are strong compared to those who bear the cost, environmental protection is usually weaker than its reverse. This could lead to inequality in the environment, along with class, race, ethnicity, gender, age. At the same time, inequality may affect the overall level of environmental quality. There is a theoretical reason to believe that inequality reduces environmental protection and worsens environmental degradation. Existing empirical evidence is usually consistent with this expectation
