THE IMPACT OF ECONOMIC INEQUALITY ON SOCIAL STABILITY

Abstract

          This article examines the impact of economic inequality on social stability, focusing on the relationship between economic inequality and various social issues, such as political conflict, increased crime, lack of social cooperation, and the impact on citizens' mental health. According to studies by both local and international scholars, economic inequality contributes to several social problems, affecting long-term social stability. The article suggests that reducing economic inequality can enhance social stability, particularly through equitable access to education and public services. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of fostering social cooperation and developing social capital.
