14.1What is social inequality

 Social inequality refers to the relational process in a society involving the restriction or injury of the social status, social class and social circle of certain groups. Social inequalities include the level of ownership of private property rights, the right to vote, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, and access to education, health care, quality housing, transport, tourism, mobility, holidays, and other social goods and services. In addition, social inequalities can be observed in family and neighbourhood life, occupation, job satisfaction, and the availability and quality of access to credit. If economic divergence increases, it has the potential to lead to social inequality.


The causes of social inequality are varied, but often far-reaching. Social inequality exists between races, classes and countries. This inequality can be found in the history of countries all over the world.
