Description

Economic inequalities are among the greatest human rights challenges the world faces today due to the past four decades of neoliberal policy dominance. Globally, there are now over 2,000 billionaires, while 3.4 billion people live below the poverty line of US $5.50 per day. Many human rights scholars and practitioners read these statistics with alarm, asking what impact such extreme inequalities have on realizing human rights and what role, if any, should human rights have in challenging them? This edited volume examines these questions from multiple disciplinary perspectives, seeking to uncover the relationships between human rights and economic inequalities, and the barriers and pathways to greater economic equality and full enjoyment of human rights for all. The volume is a unique contribution to the emerging literature on human rights and economic inequality, as it is interdisciplinary, global in reach and extends to several under-researched areas in the field. 05.0_pp_vi_vi_Copyright_page 06.0_pp_vii_viii_Dedication 07.0_pp_ix_xi_Contents 08.0_pp_xii_xii_Figures 09.0_pp_xiii_xiii_Tables 10.0_pp_xiv_xiv_Boxes 11.0_pp_xv_xxii_Notes_on_Contributors 12.0_pp_xxiii_xxvi_Acknowledgments 13.0_pp_1_30_Introduction 14.0_pp_31_140_Conceptualizing_and_Measuring_Human_Rights_and_Economic_Inequalities 14.1_pp_33_62_Emerging_Human_Rights_Norms_and_Standards_on_Vertical_Inequalities 14.2_pp_63_84_Constraints_on_Economic_Inequality_Comparing_Canada_and_the_United_States 14.3_pp_85_114_What_the_UN_Human_Rights_Treaty_Bodies_Tell_Us_about_Economic_Inequalities_and_Human_Rights_An_Empir 14.4_pp_115_140_How_Can_Economists_Help_Human_Rights_Practitioners_to_Measure_Changes_in_Economic_Inequalities 15.0_pp_141_244_Causes_and_Consequences_of_Economic_Inequalities 15.1_pp_143_167_A_Framework_for_Fiscal_Justice_How_Human_Rights_Can_Change_Public_Finance 15.2_pp_168_192_Global_Tax_Justice_and_Human_Rights 15.3_pp_193_216_Growing_Inequality_and_Risks_to_Social_Rights_in_Our_New_Data_Economy 15.4_pp_217_244_Caste_Economic_Inequality_and_Climate_Justice_in_India 16.0_pp_245_389_Socioeconomic_Rights_and_Economic_Inequalities 16.1_pp_247_270_Distributive_Justice_and_Economic_and_Social_Rights 16.2_pp_271_294_Fair_Wages_and_a_Decent_Living_Paths_to_Greater_Vertical_Equality 16.3_pp_295_315_Economic_Inequality_and_the_Right_to_Social_Security_Contested_Meanings_and_Potential_Roles 16.4_pp_316_336_Education_Income_Inequality_and_the_Right_to_Participate_in_Cultural_Life 16.5_pp_337_363_Implications_of_the_Health_Equity_Perspective_for_the_Right_to_Health 16.6_pp_364_389_The_Potential_Impact_of_the_Right_to_Housing_to_Address_Vertical_Inequalities 17.0_pp_390_418_Index
