Platt, Lucinda's Books

Bringing together the most recent empirical evidence and the latest theoretical debates, this fully revised new edition gets to grips with a broad range of inequalities in people’s lives. Examining social class, gender, ethnicity, disability and migration status, it demonstrates how these play out in relation to education, health, poverty, neighbourhood and housing and how they cumulate across the life course. Richly illustrated with figures and concrete examples showing the distribution of life chances across social groups, the book demonstrates how people’s lives are structured by inequalities across multiple dimensions. Comprehensive topical chapters are framed by an exploration of the meaning and interpretation of inequalities and a discussion highlighting the important intersections between them. With new chapters on disability and international migration, this updated edition continues to provide a wide-ranging but detailed and theoretically sophisticated account of contemporary inequalities that will be invaluable to undergraduate and masters students alike.

This book analyzes the impact of migration on the lives of multiple generations of 2000 Turkish families. Exploring education, marriage, fertility, friends, attitudes and religiosity, it reveals transformations and continuities in the lives of migrants and their families in Europe when compared to their non-migrant counterparts in Turkey.

Providing an at-a-glance guide to social change in the UK at the start of the new millennium, this book offers comparisons with the findings of the previous Census a decade ago. Many maps covering different topics illustrate the state of UK society today and how it is changing.

Drawing on data from the ONS Longitudinal Survey, this report traces patterns of intergenerational social mobility for children from different ethnic groups growing up in England and Wales. It is for all those wishing to know more about the extent and nature of ethnic minority achievement and disadvantage.

Reviews the literature on income poverty, deprivation and social exclusion among the largest ethno-religious groups during the years 2001-2005. Considers employment outcomes, family structure and kinship, and eligibility and take-up of social security benefits.
