Demography of Inequality Workshop
Fall of 2009

The distribution of resources and rewards is closely linked with demographic structures and processes. Fertility, family and household behavior may create and foster inequalities in economic resources, both within and across generations. Similarly inequality in social and economic resources may affect individual and family behavior. Socioeconomic inequality is intrinsically linked with health inequalities, access to schooling, and success in later life. The central interests of our workshops are factors affecting the distribution of income and wealth. Research on educational attainment, employment, and consumption fit in this forum for exchanging ideas. Christine Swartz, Jenna Nobles, Ted Gerber and Jane Cooley will present their projects on Demography of Inequality this semester.
