What is the difference between inequality






5 ANSWERS



Diversity means having a heterogeneous population with different preferences, different backgrounds, different skills. Diversity is good for an economy, creating more opportunities to exploit comparative advantages.

Inequality means having a heterogeneous set of economic outcomes, like income, wealth, or consumption. If you have a diverse population, that will naturally engender some inequality. But too much inequality will cause problems. In particular, inequality of wealth often leads some people to effectively have more rights and privileges than other










Diversity refers specifically to the amount of difference found within a group, whether it’s a group of people or a bowl of jellybeans or a stock portfolio.

A group of people can be diverse or not diverse, by any number of criteria (race, gender, class, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and many others), but this has no bearing on whether the people in that group are all treated well.

Equality* means that everyone in a group are treated alike. Diversity in no way guarantees equality.

*(Many believe that equality shouldn’t be a society’s goal. While equality means that everyone in a group is treated alike, equity

They have little to do with each other.

Diversity can be described in terms of the degree to which a whole is constituted by varying elements. For example, a jar filled with many different colors of marbles would be considered more diverse than would a jar filled with one color of marbles. A population of people of various races, ethnicities, religions, skintones, economic classes, etc. would be considered diverse.

Inequality can be described in terms of the degree of difference between things (usually [but not always] along a particular scale, like wealth, privilege, shade of color, etc.). There is greater inequality between a black marble and a white marble than between two marbles of different shades of grey. There is greater income inequality between a poor person and a rich person than between two middle-class people. In a society that privileges people according to skintone, there is greater inequality between a dark person and a light person than between two medium-toned people.

There can be great diversity in a population with little inequality or there can be great diversity in a population with a good deal of inequality. There can be little diversity in a population with little or much inequality. They don’t necessarily have anything to do with each other.
