Social inequality

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Social inequality happens when resources in a society are given out unevenly. This can be because of gender, sexuality, race, income, legal status, social status and education level. Social inequality usually talks about the lack of equality of outcome and the lack of equality of access to opportunity.[1] The social rights include labor market, the source of income, health care, and freedom of speech, education, political representation, and participation.[2]
