Australian Trends in Wealth Inequality
Angebote / Angebote:
The distribution of economic wellbeing is a key
indicator of a society and is a function of
inequalities in income, wealth and consumption.
However, almost all studies have relied upon income
as the sole measure of economic wellbeing. The
omission of wealth overlooks that wealth provides
security, freedom and power. These features are not
captured by income alone.
This book attempts to enhance our understanding of
the distribution of economic wellbeing and inequality
in Australia by using wealth as the measure. It
provides trends and estimates of the level and
inequality of wealth in Australia at the current
time. It estimates future wealth inequality.
Finally, it provides some insights into a number of
wealth-related social policy questions.
The author is able to these very detailed projections
through the use of a technique not previously
employed in Australia to estimate wealth - dynamic
microsimulation.
This book should be especially useful to
microsimulation modellers, social policy researchers,
those with an interest in the economic impact of an
ageing population, or anyone interested in trends in
wealth inequality.
