Social Equity
Income levels reflect the opportunities available to people to provide for themselves and their families, to access resources for economic advancement, to build strong, economically prosperous neighborhoods, and to enjoy a good quality of life. For children, they can have a significant impact on their development and on their success as an adult. There is great disparity in South Florida between the incomes of the wealthiest and the poorest residents, as well as geographic concentrations of wealth and poverty, reflecting the disparity in opportunities between the haves and have-nots. |
