Abstract
Economic globalization has been a defining characteristic of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, reshaping the economic landscape and influencing social structures across the globe. This paper examines the intricate relationship between economic globalization and social inequality. It argues that while globalization has brought about increased trade, capital flows, and technological advancements, it has also exacerbated social disparities. The analysis focuses on the impacts of globalization on income distribution, labor markets, and access to resources. The paper finds that globalization has led to a concentration of wealth among a few, widened the gap between the rich and the poor, and contributed to the marginalization of vulnerable groups. Additionally, it discusses the role of government policies, international institutions, and social movements in mitigating the adverse effects of globalization on social inequality.
