The relationship between education and income inequality is of fundamental importance. In this book, an international group of renowned contributors focus on patterns of inequality and their relationship to education using recent data from European countries. The fresh and unique research deals with important topics such as: wage and education inequality, differences in earnings related to gender, the role of labor market institutions, demographic and cohort effects on inequality, intergenerational education and income mobility, the extent of 'over education' and job and life satisfaction inequality. The wealth of new empirical evidence presented will make this book an invaluable resource for labor and education economists, educationalists, policy-makers and academics interested in the distribution of income, inequality and education within the fields of sociology and public policy.
