Social inequality is characterized by the existence of unequal opportunities and rewards for different social positions or statuses within a group or society. It contains structured and recurrent patterns of unequal distributions of goods, wealth, opportunities, rewards, and punishments.
The reasons for social inequality can vary, but are often broad and far reaching. Social inequality can emerge through a society's understanding of appropriate gender roles, or through the prevalence of social stereotyping….
Social inequality is linked to racial inequality, gender inequality, and wealth inequality. Inequality affects economies and societies, with growing evidence that excessive inequality may be bad for growth.
There are also concerns that inequality may dampen educational opportunities
and social mobility. There are three main types of economic inequality:
Income Inequality. Income inequality is the extent to which income is distributed unevenly in a group of people.
Pay Inequality. A person's pay is different to their income. Pay refers to payment from employment only.
Wealth Inequality.
