Question

essay on the problem of economic inequality.

Answer 1

Economic inequality covers a wide variety of topics. It can refer to either income distribution, measuring the amount of money people are paid, or the distribution of wealth, which captures the amount of wealth people own. Inequality among nations is covered in international inequality and countries listed by income inequality. For the United States, see United States income inequality, United States wealth inequality, United States states by gini coefficient and causes of income inequality in the United States.

Besides measurements between countries or states, there are important types of economic inequality between groups of people. For inequality based on race, see racial wage gap in the United States. For inequality based on gender, see gender pay gap and gender pay gap in the United States.
