Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Based on original research by the Economic and Social Research Institute, this book shows that class barriers in Ireland are substantially more rigid than in other countries. It sets out findings that provide evidence of the significance in Ireland of class differences in income, standards of living, economic stress and physical and mental health.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 185-199).
