Chapter.1 - What is Inquality..?

Inequality—the state of not being equal, especially in status,

rights, and opportunities

—is a concept very much at the heart

of social justice theories. However, it is prone to confusion in

public debate as it tends to mean different things to different

people. Some distinctions are common though. Many authors

distinguish "economic inequality", mostly meaning "income

inequality", "monetary inequality" or, more broadly, inequality

in "living conditions". Others further distinguish a rights-based,

legalistic approach to inequality—inequality of rights and asso-

ciated obligations (e.g. when people are not equal before the law,

or when people have unequal political power).

Concerning economic inequality, much of the discussion has

boiled down to two views. One is chiefly concerned with the

inequality of outcomes in the material dimensions of well-being

and that may be the result of circumstances beyond one's control

(ethnicity, family background, gender, and so on) as well as talent

and effort. This view takes an ex-post or achievement-oriented

perspective. The second view is concerned with the inequality of

opportunities, that is, it focuses only in the circumstances beyond

one's control, that affect one's potential outcomes. This is an ex-

ante or potential achievement perspective.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." – Franklin Roosevelt

This quote by Roosevelt sums up the importance of our fight against inequality. Inequality is a malaise that permeates through every level of the society..

Gender Inequality

Gender inequality has been a crucial social issue in India for centuries. Census 2011 shows the child sex ratio among children of 0-6 years to be 918 girls for every 1000 boys in India. This statistic speaks for itself and demands urgent and efficient solutions to address the cause of gender inequality. 

Inequalities are not driven And measured By Income , But Are determined by others factors - Gender , Age , Origin , Ethnicity , Disability , Sexual Orientation , class and Religion ....
