Inequality in Zambia: Routledge Contemporary Africa

Editat de Caesar Cheelo, Marja Hinfelaar, Manenga Ndulo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 aug 2024
Coming together from across several disciplines, the contributors to this book reflect on the considerable problem of inequality in Zambia, comparing it with other countries both in the region and more broadly.
The World Bank consistently ranks Zambia among the countries with the highest levels of poverty and inequality globally, but the problem is not widely studied; and the studies that do exist tend to focus solely on economic measures of inequality. This book uses a multidimensional analysis of inequalities, highlighting the ways in which certain social groups and geographical locations are more likely to suffer multiple inequalities. It investigates key issues around poverty, healthcare, income, law, disability, and power inequalities.
Particularly showcasing the work of local researchers, this book will be of interest to researchers of African studies, development, economics, and politics.
