Ethnicity, age, disability and migrant status affect access to healthcare, education, jobs and more, says the new World Social Situation 2016 report.
Children with disabilities and those belonging to ethnic minorities face unique barriers in the educational system, for instance.
Youth, migrants and indigenous workers are more often under- or even unpaid and over-educated for the work they do than workers of other groups.
