Do growing income and social inequalities lead to social divisions, tensions and conflicts, social crises and, as a consequence, can they also lead to economic crises?
There are many indications that growing income and social inequalities are a serious challenge, leading to divisions and tensions. Social stratification, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, generates a sense of injustice and a lack of trust in the state. These inequalities affect not only earnings but also access to education, healthcare and culture, creating a vicious circle of poverty. The wealthy have easier access to education, which translates into better career prospects. Unequal access to healthcare exacerbates the sense of injustice. The feeling of exclusion can lead to frustration and social conflict. Growing inequality threatens democracy because the political power can favour the rich. An effective solution requires comprehensive strategies, including redistribution policies, investment in education and strengthening state institutions. Research plays an important role in solving this problem.

Yes, Dariusz Prokopowicz , growing income and social inequalities can indeed lead to social divisions, tensions, and conflicts, which may escalate into social crises and, subsequently, economic crises.
The interplay between income inequality and social dynamics is complex and can lead to a cycle of tension and crisis that affects both social stability and economic performance. Addressing these inequalities through inclusive policies and practices can mitigate these risks and promote a more cohesive society.
Buenas tardes Dariusz,
en mi opinión llevas razón: la desigualdad esta delimitando una situación de estratificación muy grande entre dos colectivos: los de clase alta y los de clase baja. Si, ya casi no existe una clase media debido a la extrema diferenciación de ingresos que se encuentran.
Esta situación de pocos/nulos ingresos lleva al conflicto, ya que no poder hacer frente a los gastos familiares produce malestar, y el malestar del conduce a los conflictos.
En España, se puede observar con los movimientos sociales que están emergiendo debido a los precios desorbitados de alquileres, debido también a los alquileres turísticos, los cuales impiden a las clases bajas poder enmanciparse a edades tempranas, la edad media en España asciende a los 30 años (Fuente: BBVA Reserch).
Siguiendo con mi opinión, la desigualdad de recursos afecta en todos los ámbitos.
Gracias, espero haber ayudado.
Yes; but the time will vary depending on the type of regime. The more authoritarian the regime, the more distant but deeper the opposition will be. In other words, people will spend part of the time fighting in secret.
