Identity, Intersectionality and Welfare

Abstract

In this paper, nuances of identity, intersectionality and welfare are explored. I begin with a historical overview of the subject followed by an evolution of the concept. I move on to different realizations of intersectionality in politics and policy-making, healthcare, education, employment and property. I end the paper with a statement, based on the workings of the paper, that true welfare is always intersectional, in nature.
