Socio-economic disparities

Socio-economic disparities refer to the differences in wealth, opportunities, and privileges that exist among individuals or groups within a society. These disparities can affect access to education, healthcare, employment, and housing. Factors such as income level, education, race, and geographic location contribute to these inequalities. As a result, individuals from lower socio-economic backgrounds may face challenges that limit their potential and quality of life, while those from wealthier backgrounds often have better access to resources and opportunities, leading to a cycle of advantage and disadvantage across generations.
