Spatial Inequality
Spatial Inequality
Spatial inequality is the unequal distribution in goods or services depending on the area or location. The services such as medical or welfare will have even more skills and more range of services. The space within the different locations is the clustering of various groups of people who share similar financial situations. It happens because of various reasons, such as religion and other discriminative views. Women in society got paid less than the average male income in previous times before suffrage and equal rights happened in the workforce. Spatial inequality is the differences and injustices in communities e.g. income, occupation, housing and uneven access to facilities and infrastructure e.g. hospitals, schools and public transport
In China, Russia, India, Mexico, and South Africa, as well as in most other developing and transition economies, spatial and regional inequality – of economic activity, incomes, and social indicators is on the increase.Spatial inequality is a dimension of overall inequality, but it has added significance when spatial and regional divisions align with political and ethnic tensions to undermine social and political stability. Also important in the policy debate is a perceived sense that increasing internal spatial inequality is related to greater openness of economies and to globalization in general.Despite these important concerns, there is remarkably little systematic documentation of what has happened to spatial and regional inequality over the last twenty years. Correspondingly, there is insufficient understanding of the determinants of internal spatial inequality.
What is poverty?
Poverty is a condition of living which is difficult to measure and almost impossible to conclusively define. People living in poverty in sub-Saharan Africa may lack safe housing, struggle to find food and have no access to potable (drinkable) water. This standard of living is known as 'absolute poverty'. As standards of
