(2014) “The GINI Project, Changing Inequalities and Societal Impacts in Rich Countries – Thirty Countries’ Experiences“, Project Funded Under the Socio-Economic Sciences & Humanities Theme, 30 August.
Aims
The GINI Project studies the economic and educational drivers and the social, cultural and political impacts of increasing inequality with novel contributions on the measurement of income, wealth and education inequality.
GINI combines an interdisciplinary analysis that draws on economics, sociology, political science and health studies, with improved methodologies, uniform measurement, wide country coverage, a clear policy dimension and broad dissemination. The project operates in a framework of policy-oriented debate and international comparisons across all EU countries (except Cyprus and Malta), the USA, Japan, Canada and Australia.
