GENES AND GINI: WHAT INEQUALITY MEANS FOR HERITABILITY.

Journal of biosocial science - 1 Jan 2019

Selita Fatos, Kovas Yulia

Abstract excerpt

Research has established that genetic differences among people explain a greater or smaller proportion of the variation in life outcomes in different environmental conditions. This review evaluates the results of recent educationally relevant behavioural genetic studies and meta-analyses in the context of recent trends in income and wealth distribution. The pattern of results suggests that inequality and social...
