Economics, Business & Race

Tackling racial inequality in the workplace and in economic structures is essential to the success of achieving SDG 10. As part of our aim at Springer Nature to build bridges between research and practice to better achieve Sustainable Development Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities, this page highlights research on the subjects of race and inequality from the fields of business, management and economics, and primarily features and amplifies the work of black researchers.

Browse selected journal articles and book chapters on associated research topics. You can read more multi-disciplinary research on our Black Lives Matter collection or on our SDG 10 page.
