Introduction to Income Distribution, Economic Growth and Unemployment

João Ricardo Faria, Jorge Thompson Araujo and João Gabriel de Araujo Oliveira

A chapter in Income Distribution, Economic Growth and Unemployment, 2025, pp 1-7 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This book addresses the critical issues of rising inequality and jobless economic growth, presenting cutting-edge research on income distribution, economic growth, and labor markets from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. The contributions explore the interplay between income distribution and growth, following the Cambridge tradition, and delve into specific themes such as migration, the COVID-19 pandemic's employment impact, and prestige clubs. The book is divided into three parts: the first revisits theoretical issues and innovations by the Cambridge school; the second offers new theoretical insights on growth, distribution, and unemployment, including mainstream approaches; and the third provides empirical analyses using advanced econometric methods. Additionally, the book examines policy implications and potential solutions to address these pressing economic challenges. The common thread is the integrated analysis of income distribution, growth, and employment, emphasizing the importance of understanding these elements together rather than in isolation.
