unfair differences in status or wealth
A situation where some people have much more money, power, or chances in life than others, in a way that is not fair.
استعمال کا انداز:
[inequality] between [groups] / [inequality] in [area]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "inequality" with "inequity". "Inequality" focuses on differences in level (money, power, chances), while "inequity" is usually used for unfair treatment or unfair rules. In most news and everyday speech about society and money, "inequality" is more common.

lack of equality or balance
When two or more things are not the same in number, size, quality, or treatment.
استعمال کا انداز:
[inequality] in [something] / [inequality] between [things or people]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "difference" when they specifically mean an unfair or problematic "inequality". "Difference" is neutral, but "inequality" suggests that the lack of balance is important or possibly unfair.
ہم معنی الفاظ
imbalance (Emphasizes that one side is larger or stronger; often used for numbers, power, or resources.)
|
unevenness (More informal and physical-sounding; often used for degree or quality rather than rights.)
متضاد الفاظ

|
balance (Focuses on even or proper proportion between sides.)
