Dimensions of Social Inequality in the Third World: A Cross-National Analysis of Income Inequaltiy and Mortality Decline.
Crenshaw, Edward; Ameen, Ansari
Population Research and Policy Review, v12 n3 p297-313 1993
This cross-national assessment of the empirical determinants of income inequality and infant mortality employs policy-relevant variables suggested by the major macrosocial theory of development and stratification. Findings indicate that modernization and ecological-evolutionary theories provide more consistent explanations of social inequalities than either dependency/world-systems theory or urban bias theory.
