We apply LSE’s leading expertise on social and political sciences to understand how inequalities may arise in different environments. We are interested in the long-term effects of inequality on people’s lives and its broader impact on society. Overall, our work produces insights on what reinforces structures of inequalities and the potential counteractions to reduce, and eventually, eliminate such structures.
To assess both the origins and consequences of inequality within different environments, we apply LSE’s leading expertise on social and political sciences. We are interested in the long-term effects of inequality on people’s lives and its broader impact on society. Overall, our work produces insights on what reinforces structures of inequalities and the potential counteractions to reduce, and eventually, eliminate such structures.
What is the relation between economic inequality and poverty? How do early-years policies reduce social inequality and how can this benefit education, the economy and labour markets in the long run? And what is the link between poverty and social exclusion with long-term unemployment and workless households as a result? We provide interdisciplinary research and approaches to understand and address pervasive problems like these to drive social change across the globe.
Who we work with
Our team works across LSE departments and specialised units, such as the International Inequalities Institute (III), a leading hub at LSE for multidisciplinary action on issues of inequality, the Department of Economics, the Department of Social Policy and the Department of Sociology.
