This Is What Inequality Looks Like by Teo You Yenn
4.0
Update December 12, 2022
I choose to buy this books from Post Santa bookstore! one of definitely that must have to into my book collection!
------------------------------------------------------
** Books 40 - 2022 **
“for higher-class parents, children are ‘projects.’ They have tightly scheduled lives and coordinated activities; high-income parents spend significant time and energy thinking about how to fulfill their kids’ ‘potentials.’ For the working class and poor, Lareau argues, parenting is more about ‘the accomplishment of natural growth.’ Top priorities in these families are safety and health.”
4 of 5 stars!
When we hear about Singapore what first think do you think about? Rich and prosperity for the most of citizens is and also still top 15 of developed countries list 2022 (above UK and New Zealand woww) even their GDP Nominal per capita in USD for 2022 is the highest one in ASEAN Countries. who knows it really makes me shock when i read about another side of Singapore from this books.
Inequality and Poverty between the high-income salary person and Low-income salary person is makes the gap is really high. There is still lack of proper of government's policy how to handle this two community very well. Low-income salary person who lives in a small flat with many children will be different with people with higher-income in comfortable flat.. This is also influence them how to educate their children and the opportunity to grow and develop in society too. It is also breaking my heart when yeah low-income salary person just wanna get the same opportunity, easier bureaucracy and also accesible facility looks like the higher-income salary people but unfortunately it didn't.
I'm curious is there any changes from Singapore's government policy after this books published? or is still same like before :'(
