Book: Equal opportunities in the city

Discussed in the Council of July 2019

Social inequality is a complex issue. Scientific insight, built up over a longer period of time and from multiple perspectives, is indispensable for structural solutions. The University of Amsterdam (UvA) has broad expertise in this field. Inequality is a spearhead in the research. The Amsterdam Center for Inequality Studies, affiliated with the UvA's social faculty, combines scientific expertise in this field with social engagement. Researchers from different disciplines work together to get a grip on the origin and prevention of inequality.

This volume

The contributions to this volume examine the state of knowledge in the field in question for a large number of themes, and which knowledge questions are still open. We want to contribute to the UvA's ambition to strengthen the connection with the city. We therefore hope that this collection will reach different audiences: policymakers, politicians, social partners and scientists. By posing new knowledge questions, we hope to contribute to a knowledge base and research agenda with which the city, social partners and science can move forward in their ambition to strengthen ties.
