Some Proposed Changes
Hello, I am employed by Boston University's Fineman & Pappas Law Libraries. After reviewing this Wikipedia page, I believe that information from one of our faculty's scholarship might provide a valuable addition to this page. I would appreciate it if this requested edit could be reviewed.
Social and Economic Factors
Input these sentences at the beginning of the Social and Economic Factors section:
Apart from social and economic factors such as education and income, there is often also a correlation between race and bankruptcy outcome.[1] For example, for personal bankruptcy claims, minority debtors had an approximately 40% decreased chance of receiving a discharge in in Chapter 13 bankruptcy.[2] These racial disparities are aggravated by the fact that many minority debtors lack appropriate attorney representation.[3]— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cf2022 (talk • contribs) 02:09, December 22, 2020 (UTC)
