[Health & Sexuality Info](/health-info)# economic inequalities

Economic inequalities are the disparities in wealth and income in a society. Sometimes inequalities are smaller, as when there is a large middle class, and sometimes they are greater, as when the majority are poor and a small percentage are very wealthy. In general, the greater the income inequalities in a given society are, the greater the health disparities are.
