Socioeconomic inequalities
Researchers at York have demonstrated the impact of income inequality on a range of health and social issues and shown how inequality affects the rich as well as the poor.
Research within this area ranges from the development and critique of theories of equality and social justice to influencing change in laws, regulation, policy, practice and public debate.
Inequalities and injustices in wealth, income, education, employment, health, housing, the legal and justice systems, and the environment are just a few of our research strengths.
