Question

explain the notion of cumulative inequalities

Answer 1

Cumulative inequality theory is the systematic explanation of how inequalities develop and influence the quality of life of societies, cohorts, and individuals. The theory [WL1] is principally a social scientific explanation of phenomena but with links to biological and health factors, personal adjustment, and well-being. A central premise is that “social systems generate inequality, which is manifested over the life course via demographic and developmental processes.”
