Vertical Imbalance

Vertical imbalance refers to a situation where different levels of authority or governance experience unequal distribution of resources or power. In a broader context, it can occur in various systems, such as governments, organizations, or social structures, where higher levels have significantly more control or influence than lower levels. This imbalance can lead to inefficiencies, disenfranchisement, and conflicts, as those at the lower levels may lack the means to influence decisions that affect them. Addressing vertical imbalance often involves promoting equity and better communication between different levels of governance or management.
