Inequities refer to disparities or inequalities that exist between different groups in terms of access to resources, opportunities, or outcomes. This research area focuses on understanding and addressing the root causes and consequences of these inequities, with the goal of promoting social justice and equality. Researchers in this field may study various forms of inequality, such as economic inequality, racial or ethnic disparities, gender disparities, and disparities related to factors like education, health, or employment. They may also examine the ways in which these inequities intersect and compound each other, leading to even greater barriers for certain individuals or groups. Researchers in this area often work to identify solutions and interventions that can help reduce or eliminate inequities and promote a more just and equitable society.
