Political Inequality

Political inequality refers to the uneven distribution of power and influence among individuals and groups within a society. This can manifest in various ways, such as unequal access to political representation, decision-making processes, and resources that shape policies. When some populations, particularly marginalized communities, lack a voice in governance, their needs and concerns are often overlooked, hindering social and economic development. Political inequality can perpetuate broader inequalities, as it affects not just individual rights, but also access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, ultimately impacting the overall progress and well-being of a society.
