Wealth inequality is a research area that examines the unequal distribution of assets and financial resources among individuals or households within a society. Researchers in this area study the factors contributing to wealth disparities, such as income inequality, social mobility, inheritance, and government policies. They also investigate the social and economic consequences of wealth inequality, including its impact on social cohesion, economic growth, and opportunity for individuals from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Overall, wealth inequality research seeks to understand the root causes of disparities in wealth distribution and to explore potential solutions to address these disparities.
