Stratified Universalism - A Hierarchy of Privilege

Join Dr. Carmen Ho as she delves into the "durability" of inequality. 

Together, we will examine the continual presence of inequality and the challenges faced in efforts to diminish it through universal policies, including Universal Health Care.

Universal policies that serve all, such as Universal Health Care, are expected to reduce inequality. Yet country experiences show that there have been challenges in reaching this goal. In this presentation, I will talk about “stratified universalism,” the stratification of a social policy’s services or benefits. Advantaged groups benefit more than others. This reinforces, rather than disrupts, the processes that transform initial inequalities into more durable forms.
