Armutsforschung

The perception of growing social insecurities and divisions, not least due to the Covid-19 pandemic, has brought questions of social inequality and poverty back into focus. The revised and updated interdisciplinary handbook addresses these new and old challenges and at the same time critically classifies and interprets current developments and manifestations of poverty. In addition to the academic debate, the handbook shows perspectives for the socio-political treatment of poverty. It serves as a comprehensive and concise reference work for practitioners, students and academics at the interface of various social science sub-disciplines.
