Social differentiation, embedded in inequalities of power, status, wealth, and prestige, affects life chances of individuals as well as the allocation of resources and opportunities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStarting with a theoretical framework that challenges many traditional analyses, the contributors focus on four specific strands of social differentiation: gender, age, race\/ethnicity, and locality. They explore the historically specific social practices, policies, and ideologies that produce distinct forms of inequality, in turn revealing and explaining such issues as the formation and maintenance of a gendered order; the privileging of prime-age workers; the penalties incurred by visible minorities in the labour market; the highly disadvantaged position of Aboriginals; and the economic decline of agriculture, resource, and fishing dependent regions. By paying special attention to political processes, norms, and representations, and by indicating how social policies shape economic functioning and relate to normative definitions, this book will interest policy-oriented researchers and decision-makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Danielle Juteau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802084044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802084040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Danielle Juteau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072785051903,"sku":"9780802084040","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6c9e5a6-8c12-4638-a200-5c3e3ff4c266.jpg?v=1685443940","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-differentiation-danielle-juteau-9780802084040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
