Inequalities - GCSE Geography Definition

Reviewed by: Bridgette Barrett

Published

Inequalities refer to the uneven distribution of resources and opportunities among different groups of people. In the context of GCSE Geography, this often relates to differences in wealth, education, health care, and access to services within and between countries. For example, some areas may have more hospitals and schools, while others might lack these essential services. Understanding inequalities helps us see why certain places or people have advantages over others and can lead to discussions on how to make things more equal for everyone.
