title: Income Inequality Is Everybody’s Problem.
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: The research presented here demonstrates that there is a spillover effect of income inequality on society at large. This means that not only the lowest incomes are confronted by income inequality. This research shows that even people with higher incomes, living in a state with higher income inequality, have lower self-assessed mental and physical health than people living in a state with less income inequality. The main research question is: “To what extent does a spillover effect, caused by income inequality, exist in the United States?”. The research focuses on the context of the United States, California and Orange County and makes use of various quantitative methods to answer this main research question.
