      abstract = {This book examines social inequalities in Europe,  especially those caused by economic factors. It starts with  the paradox of European inequality, where on the one hand,  even total income inequality in Europe is significantly  lower than in most parts of the world; but on the other,  Europe is also characterised by profound and durable  inequalities within the continent. It discusses  inequalities caused by the exclusion of marginalised groups  from the labour market, with considerable and sometimes  increasing differences between central and peripheral  regions, pronounced wealth and labour market inequalities,  and significant rates of persistent poverty, deprivation,  educational poverty, low wages and unemployment. The book  also discusses broader territorial inequalities, which are  the basis for divisions between Northern and Southern  Europe, East and West, between qualified and unqualified  employees, younger and older people, men and women, and  migrants and non-migrants. The book raises questions about  the winners and losers of the social transformations linked  to the introduction of the Euro, the Eastern enlargement of  the EU, and the financial and Eurozone crises. It is based  on a comprehensive analysis of a European-wide microdata  set on income and living conditions (EU-SILC). The  empirical research material, which is the first to deploy  this data in a comprehensive manner, consists of detailed  empirical analyses of social divisions and Europeanisation  processes in 30 European countries. It analyses and  explains the transformation of the previously dominant  national spaces into a European social space. This topical  book is of interest to academics and students in the fields  of sociology and comparative social sciences, along with  those studying European regional geography, anthropology,  international relations, and international politics.},
