Disparities refer to the differences in outcomes or conditions experienced by different groups of people. These differences can be seen in various areas, such as health, education, and income. For example, some communities may have limited access to quality healthcare, leading to poorer health outcomes compared to others. These inequalities often arise from systemic issues, including socioeconomic status, race, and geographic location. Addressing disparities is essential for promoting fairness and ensuring that all individuals have equal opportunities to succeed and thrive in society.
