Socioeconomic Status Disparities

Socioeconomic status (SES) refers to a person's economic and social position relative to others, often based on income, education, and occupation. Disparities in SES can lead to unequal access to resources, such as quality education, healthcare, and job opportunities. People with lower SES may face challenges like inadequate housing and limited access to nutritious food, which can affect their overall well-being. These disparities can perpetuate cycles of poverty, impacting not just individuals but entire communities, leading to broader social and economic inequalities. Understanding SES disparities is crucial for addressing these issues and promoting equity.
