Income Stratification in

Peripherality, income inequality, and life expectancy: revisiting the income inequality hypothesis.

BACKGROUND Recent criticisms of the income inequality and health hypothesis have stressed the lack of consistent significant evidence for the stronger effects of income inequality among rich countries. Despite such criticisms, little attention has been devoted to the income-based criteria underlying the stratification of countries into rich/poor groups and whether trade patterns and world-syste...

Regional Income Stratification in Unified Germany Using a Gini Decomposition Approach

Regional Income Stratification in Unified Germany Using a Gini Decomposition Approach This paper delivers new insights into the development of income inequality and regional stratification in Germany after unification using a new method for detecting social stratification by a decomposition of the GINI index which yields the obligatory betweenand within-group components as well as an “overlappi...

Disparity Society Theory and Social Stratification Theory: An Attempt to Respond to Challenges by Disparity Society Theory

This paper explores the empirical validity of two important issues recently highlighted by disparity society theory in Japan. The first is income disparity and disparity between regular and non-regular workers. It is clear that social stratification theory has not yet analyzed these issues seriously. It has studied occupations rather than income; it has implicitly assumed that workers have regu...

SIOP‐PODC adapted risk stratification and treatment guidelines: Recommendations for neuroblastoma in low‐ and middle‐income settings

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood in high-income countries (HIC), where consistent treatment approaches based on clinical and tumor biological risk stratification have steadily improved outcomes. However, in low- and middle- income countries (LMIC), suboptimal diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment may occur due to limited resources and unavailable in...

Regional Income Stratification in Unified Germany using a Gini Decomposition Approach (ANOGI)

This paper delivers new insights into the development of income inequality and regional stratification in Germany after unification using a new method for detecting social stratification by a decomposition of the GINI index which yields the obligatory betweenand withingroup components as well as an “overlapping” index for the different sup-populations. We apply this method together with a jackk...
