Using data from the European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS), a report published by Eurofound builds up an evidence base on social inequalities in four critical areas of life: health, standard of living, productive and valued activities, and individual, family and social life. It examines the role of important determinants of social inequalities including gender, age, disability status, employment status and citizenship status, as well as other drivers. According to the authors there is enough evidence to determine clear benefits from reducing income inequalities within a country.
