Summary
  1. Greater integration into the world economy and important policy reforms have resulted in Brazil, China, India and South Africa becoming major actors in the globalization process, with impressive results in terms of economic growth, social development and poverty reduction. But the benefits of stronger growth have not always been shared equally and income inequality has remained at very high levels, the result of many forces, including demographic change, migration, unequal access to education, informal employment, existing regulations and their enforcement, social norms and cultural legacy; these forces are often interlinked and reinforce one another. However, as employment is the primary source of income for most households, this book focuses on the role of growth and employment/unemployment developments in explaining recent income inequality trends and discusses the roles played by labor market and social policies in both shaping and addressing these inequalities. It includes the papers presented at the joint OECD and European Union High-Level Conference on Inequalities in Emerging Economies held in Paris in May 2010.--Publisher's description
