Rising inequality can undermine social cohesion, limit mass consumer demand, and perpetuate poverty cycles. Factors include uneven distribution of assets, skill disparities, and growth concentrated in high-end services. Tools like the Gini coefficient measure inequality. Strategies to address it involve progressive taxation, social sector spending, and rural employment programs. Students should note how inequality interacts with caste, gender, and regional divides. Examiners often test knowledge on welfare economics, policy instruments (subsidies, direct transfers), and the trade-offs between rapid growth vs. equitable distribution. A balanced approach fosters stable socio-economic development.
