Summer school "Inequality: Mechanisms, effects and policies"

The evolution of inequalities in terms of incomes, economic, social and gender conditions, both within and between countries, is a major concern
for scholars and policy makers. Such themes are at the centre of the EU research project on “Inequality: Mechanisms, effects and policies” (INEQ)
coordinated by CRISS, the Inter-University Research Centre on the Welfare State, linking several Italian Universities.
The summer school, organised as one of the activities of the INEQ project, provides a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of inequality by
means of lectures, round tables, presentations by participants organized in poster sessions and social events.
Lectures are designed to

• investigate the economic and social mechanisms that are producing polarisation and inequality within both European
  and EU neighbouring countries,
  

• inquire into the effects that inequality has in societies, and its relationships with economic performance and
  social integration,
  

• identify actual and possible policies - at the national, EU and global levels.
