NATURAL INEQUALITY SOCIAL INEQUALITY Dr. Harpal Kaur Associate Professor AKAL COLLEGE OF EDUCATION MASTUANA SAHIB (SANGRUR)

NATURAL INEQUALITIES Natural inequalities are  caused by differences in natural resources , while social inequalities are caused by differences in social resources.

SOCIAL INEQUALITIES Social inequality is  an area within sociology that focuses on the distribution of goods and burdens in society . A good can be, for example, income, education, employment or parental leave, while examples of burdens are substance abuse, criminality, unemployment and marginalization.

Social inequality means inequality that exists due to factors like gender, caste, race, religion, or financial position which devoids a person from equal opportunities and rewards in society. People are not equal on economic and social terms. There can be many factors which can lead to social inequality like societal factors, custom, or poverty. Another term that is often related to social inequality is social mobility.

Rousseau had made a distinction between natural and social inequality. The former emerge from the unequal division of physical and mental abilities among the members of a society. The latter arise from the social entitlement of people to wealth or economic resources, political power and status regardless of potential abilities possessed by individuals.

Some people are more powerful physically to others, some are more intelligent than other humans. This is natural inequality.  Social inequality, is the variations in, money, caste, positions of various person's . It has been the order of world from immemorial times.

10% The top 10% of the Indian population holds 77% of the total national wealth. 73% of the wealth generated in 2017 went to the richest 1%, while 67 million Indians who comprise the poorest half of the population saw only a 1% increase in their wealth. 70 There are 119 billionaires in India. Their number has increased from only 9 in 2000 to 101 in 2017. Between 2018 and 2022, India is estimated to produce 70 new millionaires every day. 10x Billionaires' fortunes increased by almost 10 times over a decade and their total wealth is higher than the entire Union budget of India for the fiscal year 2018-19, which was at INR 24422 billion. 63 M Many ordinary Indians are not able to access the health care they need. 63 million of them are pushed into poverty because of healthcare costs every year - almost two people every second. 941  yrs It would take 941 years for a minimum wage worker in rural India to earn what the top paid executive at a leading Indian garment company earns in a year.

"India stands out as a poor and very unequal country, with an affluent elite," said the report, brought out by the France-based World Inequality Lab which does work through evidence-based research on the drivers of inequality worldwide. The report is authored by Lucas Chancel, co-director of the World Inequality Lab and coordinated by famed French economist Thomas Piketty, among others. The report said the one per cent richest people in India hold 22 per cent of the total national income in 2021; the top ten per cent owns 57 per cent of the income. The income gap between the top ten per cent and the bottom 50 per cent in India is one to 22 in 2021. The report showed that India is one of the most unequal countries in the world.

Inequality widens when it comes to wealth in India. The bottom 50 per cent of the households own almost nothing. The middle class is also relatively poor, owning 29.5 per cent of the total wealth as compared with the top 10 per cent and one per cent who hold 65 per cent and 33 per cent of the total wealth respectively.
