Territorial and Social Inequalities in Europe

Focusing on social inequalities, the book explores the paradox of lower overall income inequality in Europe contrasted with deep-rooted disparities within the continent. It highlights the exclusion of marginalized groups from the labor market and the growing divide between central and peripheral regions, alongside persistent poverty and educational deprivation. The analysis also delves into territorial inequalities affecting various demographics and the impact of significant socio-economic changes, utilizing extensive EU-SILC microdata to reveal transformations in European social dynamics across 30 countries.
