This video explores wage inequality—its definition, causes, and consequences on poverty. It starts by explaining wage inequality as the disparity in earnings due to differences in skills, education, and job roles, fueled by the free-market economy. The video discusses how wage inequality exacerbates poverty by preventing low-wage earners from meeting basic needs and accessing quality education and healthcare, thus trapping them in a cycle of poverty. It highlights the broader social and economic impacts, including social unrest, decreased consumer demand, and slowed economic growth. Solutions such as implementing progressive income tax systems, encouraging living wages, enforcing labor laws, and providing quality education and training are proposed to address wage inequality. The video concludes with advice for students interested in solving these issues, emphasizing the importance of understanding economic systems, advocating for equitable policies, and recognizing the interplay of social and cultural factors with economic disparities.
