Abstract

This article argues that social differentiation represents an effective conceptual tool for grasping the connections between diversity and polarization and between difference and inequality. It focuses on the economically based and normatively informed processes constitutive social differentiation in Canada. It documents age and spatially related, gendered, and racialized inequalities and examines the mechanisms underlying these patterns. It explores the relationship between public policy, social differentiation, and the production and reduction of social inequality. Finally, it suggests that the mitigation of socio-economic disparities constitutes the best tool for disassociating diversity and polarization.
