Hinweis der Redaktion
- As Rebecca discussed improvements in housing and housing policy has had a significant effect on cognitive and physical health and this matters for the extent to which individuals can educate themselves out of poverty But the effects of improvements in housing quality and policy on inequality have stalled and as well all now know economic inequality has been rising since the 80s
- in country-to-country comparisons, researchers find that the greater the difference between the richest and the poorest in a society, the worse off everyone in that society seems to be.
- holistic approach grew from the knowledge that it’s not enough to improve or replace a single aspect of a struggling neighborhood
