Document Summary

Sociology midterm review (1) social inequality (aka social stratification) Social inequality: the uneven distribution of rewards and resources in a society. The richer countries do worse in many social problems ((math, homicide, imprisonment, teen births, trust, obesity etc. ) Health and social problems are worse in more unequal countries. All people in levels of hierarchy have similar problems (infant deaths, single mothers etc. ) Child well being is better in more equal countries.
