Description
Social inequality is the existence of unequal opportunities and rewards for different social positions or statuses within a group or society that have the effect of limiting or harming a group's social status, social class, and social circle.
Social inequality results from a society organized by hierarchies of class, race, and gender that broker access to resources and rights in ways that make their distribution unequal.
This collection presents insights from multiple disciplines to illuminate the complex ways that socioeconomic status, race, and gender shape the nearly every aspect of lives across the generations.
