I. Introduction Socio-economic inequality refers to how the social factors affect and is influenced by the economic activities. This inequality limits the opportunities to be given to individuals and social groups, creating an unequal distribution of income that creates a gap between the wealthy and the poor, setting a barrier to social development that may slow down the pace to eradicate poverty.
Today, there is still an increase in the socio-economic inequality all over the world. Countries big or small experience this certain issue despite of the development they have already attained. For all countries, it is true that there will always be a problem which would be a hindrance to their economic success and development. The need for it to be catered to and solved is a call not only to those who are in high authority but mainly society.
To further explain socio-economic inequality as an issue, we are going to illustrate the history, the evolution, the current situation and the effect of socio-economic inequality specifically in China and its general regions and cities. As CDA students, the important keys needed in taking and pursuing in this career is knowledge and awareness. We need to understand how everything around us is interrelated and significant with one another. In this paper, we will also explain how the role of geography affects the emergence of socio-economic inequality in China.
II. Background of the Topic
Based on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD] (2008), the issue evolved in the mid 1980s to1990s when two unequal and poorest countries were observed a substantial increase in inequality, and eventually throughout 1980s in the United Kingdom, became stable and fell again in the 2000 to 2005.
