Social inequality refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and privileges among individuals or groups within a society. This can manifest in various forms, such as income inequality, educational disparities, access to healthcare, and discrimination based on factors like race, gender, or socioeconomic status. Research in the area of social inequality seeks to understand the causes and consequences of these disparities, as well as identify potential solutions to reduce or eliminate them. Scholars examine the ways in which social structures, policies, and cultural norms perpetuate inequality, as well as the impact of inequality on individuals' well-being, social mobility, and overall societal cohesion. By studying social inequality, researchers aim to shed light on the mechanisms that contribute to disparities and inform efforts to promote greater equality and social justice within societies. This research is interdisciplinary and draws on fields such as sociology, economics, political science, and public health to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex factors at play in shaping social inequality.
