摘要：Over the last four decades, academic and wider public interest in inequality and
poverty has grown substantially. In this paper we address the question: what
have been the major new directions in the analysis of inequality and poverty
over the last thirty to forty years? We draw attention to developments under
seven headings: changes in the extent of inequality and poverty, changes in the
policy environment, increased scrutiny of the concepts of 'poverty' and
inequality' and the rise of multidimensional approaches, the use of longitudinal
perspectives, an increase in availability of and access to data, developments in
analytical methods of measurement, and developments in modelling.
