Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In the assessment of a society's process of development, socioeconomic indicators such as poverty and discrimination, inequality, child labour, age and sex composition etc. need to be explored through rigorous measurement and careful analysis. This volume addresses both the formal elements of measurement as well as applications of these concerns in addressing the various dimensions of development.
MoreLong description:
The subjects of poverty, inequality, and population are integral to the study of human development. Poverty and taxation, distribution of wealth and deprivation, the nexus between poverty and child labour, age- and sex-composition of the population are all significant questions that demand both rigorous measurement and careful analysis in the assessment of a society's process of development. The ability to obtain meaningful answers to these questions is frequently determined by the
ability to measure the categories of poverty, inequality and population. What is required is both conceptual clarity and empirical relevance. This combination of the formal elements of measurement and the substantive elements of development is a key feature of this book.
