Inequality between States
Introduction
Inequality is different from poverty but related to it. Inequality concerns variations in living standards across a whole population. By contrast poverty focuses only on those whose standard of living falls below an appropriate threshold level (such as a poverty line). An inequality says that two values are not equal. Social inequality occurs when resources in a given society are distributed unevenly, typically through norms of allocation that engender specific patterns along lines of socially-defined categories of persons.
Economic inequality, usually described on the basis of the unequal distribution of income or wealthy studying the Inequality between the countries by focusing on the richest country in the world, the HDC, MDC or LDC, the average condition of the country as a whole is taken which ignore the strong regional variation within the state. Variations in development occurs at all spatial levels, both within and between the states.
Measures of inequality
Inequality can be measured in many different ways, based on differences in poverty and income, wealth and assets, consumption patterns, health, and other measures of well-being. Regardless of the measure, the data generally point to rising levels of inequality in the United States. However, the choice of measures can affect conclusions about the magnitude of the increase as well as the size of the gaps between different population groups.
