Social disparities refer to inequalities in access to resources, opportunities, and outcomes that are influenced by social factors such as race, gender, socio-economic status, and education. Researchers in this area study how these disparities manifest in society and impact individuals and communities, and seek to identify strategies to address and reduce these disparities. This research often involves examining factors such as discrimination, segregation, and access to healthcare, education, employment, and housing. Understanding and addressing social disparities is important for promoting social justice and creating a more equitable society.
