WEALTH INEQUALITY 2

Wealth Inequality

One of the most significant roles class plays in society is distinguishing opportunities

between people. For instance, the educational system is very expensive; thus, people from low-

addition, it is important to have an effective system that pays employees depending on the effort

and the work they accomplish in an organization. For instance, the CEO and an average worker
