 Inequality is deeply ingrained in society, impacting various aspects of life. It is often overlooked or ignored, but its effects can lead to unrest and dysfunction. Research has not always explicitly addressed equality or equity, potentially due to the timing or industry focus. However, inequality permeates all spheres. Inequality is deeply ingrained in society, impacting various aspects of life.

 Millions of people experience unequal access to resources such as education, employment, housing, healthcare, and basic necessities due to factors like infrastructure, location, race, religion, or policy. These disparities can contribute to social and economic issues, including crime, polarization, and counter trends like xenophobia and nationalism. The collective understanding of equity and equality is evolving, propelled by emerging social justice movements. Millions of people experience unequal access to resources such as education, employment, housing, healthcare, and basic necessities due to factors like infrastructure, location, race, religion, or policy.

 Inequality extends beyond social realms and affects businesses, nations, and overall development and economic growth. Inequality is rising globally, with the impacts transcending local boundaries. Efforts by governments and businesses to address equity and equality can be perceived as mere superficial gestures. Exclusion of key stakeholders and affected communities perpetuates the status quo and narrow eligibility criteria, favoring privileged groups. The differences in ideas, legislation, and application span multiple realities, making it challenging to strike a balance between benefits and negative impacts. Progress and regress often coexist, and decisions in one area or industry have ripple effects. Inequality extends beyond social realms and affects businesses, nations, and overall development and economic growth.
