Too much inequality hinders everyone’s well-being

Poverty is the most unacceptable form of economic inequality. Poverty is a signal of the difficulty, or impossibility, of adequately satisfying one’s needs in the society one lives in, and of leading one’s life based upon one’s aspirations and abilities. However, there are forms of non-economic inequality that have similar consequences. For instance, a disabled person may be excluded from education or employment. Also, one’s family and/or ethnic background can decisively impact a person’s fate and be a constraint on their opportunities and freedom. Gender often leads persons into different, unequal life experiences, irrespective of the subject’s individual characteristics. All of these phenomena have unfair consequences not only on the persons involved, but also on society as a whole, since they prevent some of its members from fully developing their abilities, and thus impoverish the human quality and the coherence and innovativeness of whole societies.
