What’s In
In the previous lessons, we have learned that inequality, in the context of social
sciences, is the apparent disparity of the distribution of wealth and an uneven
other areas of life. This division among resources bring about issues among the
classes which may lead to bigger problems. Some groups in our society enjoy
greater status, power, and wealth than other group which resulted from social
stratification
This module is designed to facilitate learners’ insights into one’s journey

throughout the course of understanding culture, society, and politics. At the end
of the module, learners will be able to identify and explain government’s efforts to
addressing pressing social inequality issues.
Notes to the Teacher
Since inequalities in the society are critical and sensitive topics,

make sure that you guide the learners in understanding the
general accounts that would be presented in this module.

What is It
THE GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL INEQUALITIES

The prevalence of social
inequality in any society cannot be
dismissed. In fact, President Obama
(2013) said inequality is “the defining
challenge of our time.” It has been
part of us and is ever growing and
expanding as time goes by.
Social inequality can be
describes as a state of social affairs
in which there is difference in
opportunity, status and treatment
among the member of a given society.
As Lee and Rawls (2010) assert it, it is more than just a case of geographic
difference. While persons from economically advantaged backgrounds have always
gone to college at higher rates than their less-privileged peers, these gaps have
expanded since the 1980s.
However pervasive these inequalities might be, though, it could still be
addressed. The government, having identified these inequalities, tries to formulate
viable projects and initiatives to support research on programs, policies, and
practices that reduce inequality in different sectors of the society. It extends to
many areas like youth development, reflecting disparities in arenas beyond
education such as mental health, criminal justice, and workforce development
(Alegria, Vallas, and Pumariega 2010; Fader, Kurlychek, and Morgan 2014;
Schwartz, Ferguson, and Symonds 2010).
The cry of the minority (any small group in society that is different from the
rest because of their race, religion, or political beliefs, or a person who belongs to
such a group) roots from the desire to achieve social inclusion. Social inclusion is a
fundamental principle of social justice. It is the process of improving the terms for
individuals and groups to take part in society” and “the process of improving the
ability, opportunity, and dignity of people, disadvantaged on the basis of their
identity, to take part in society” (World Bank, 2013, pp. 3-4).
In the Philippines, for instance, the gap between rich and poor regions
widens even more. To address this, the National Economic and Development
Authority calls for higher spending on infrastructure and social services.
10
In 2019, Socioeconomic Planning Undersecretary Adoracion Navarro said the
inequality in gross regional domestic product (GRDP) per capita, or the average
income of people in a region, has widened from 2009 to 2018, according to data
from the Philippine Statistics Authority.
The richest among all regions is the National Capital Region (NCR), where
the GRDP per capita as of 2018 stood at P253,893, a 40% jump from the P181,748
in 2009.
The poorest is the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), with
its GRDP per capita barely improving from P14,052 in 2009 to P14,657 in 2018.
This is just one of the many social inequalities identified by the government
which are either already addressed with existing programs or are still being studied
for possible formulation of viable projects.
GOVERNMENT INITIATED PROGRAMS

The following table shows some of the programs the government has
developed to help alleviate social inequalities in the country.
Institutional
Program Description Agency
Project/Initiative
The Philippines’ It is a human development Department of Social
Conditional Cash measure of the national Welfare and
Transfer Program: government that provides Development (DSWD)
Pantawid Pamilyang conditional cash grants to the
Pilipino Program poorest of the poor, to improve
(4Ps) the health, nutrition, and the
education of children aged 0-
18. It is patterned after the
conditional cash transfer (CCT)
schemes in Latin American
and African countries, which
have lifted millions of people
around the world from poverty.
Education For All It articulated the country’s Department of
(EFA) national goals, objectives, Education
policies and strategies, as well
as the regional programs
for implementation for the first
decade of the EFA movement.
Its thrusts included Early
Childhood Development,
Universalization of Quality
Primary Education, and
Alternative Learning Systems.
Service Delivery Under this set-up, every family Department of
Network (SDN) in a local health system is Health
designated to a health service
provider or health facility

within the network to ensure
sustained access to quality
healthcare across political,
geographical and
administrative
boundaries.
Comprehensive The developmental program Department of
Agrarian Reform provides for the disposal of Agrarian Reform
Program (CARP) public alienable and
disposable (A&D) lands with
the intent to open up frontier
lands while the
redistributive program involves
the redistribution of property
or rights on private
agricultural lands and
the abolition of agricultural (or
share) tenancy.
Despite these, although people recognize that no single program or project

could actually lead to major changes, the government should still assure that the
measures it is taking are toward approaches, programs, policies, and practices that
work to reduce prevailing inequality in the country.
12
What’s More
If I were a lawmaker
Direction: Pretend to be a lawmaker and read the following situations below.
Identify whether or not social inequality is present in each. If it does, suggest ways
on how to address it. If it does not, justify the claim for equality.
1. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost all aspects of human life. In
the early period of the pandemic in the Philippines, there were some reported
incidences that some wealthy and influential people have immediate and
instant access in COVID-19 testing services under government affiliated
agencies. However, the rest of the general public have difficulty to have
access in such kind of health services. As a lawmaker, what can be done to
avoid social inequality in this scenario?

2. The number of men who contract prostate cancer is about the same as the
number of women getting breast cancer. The disparity in annual
government research funding between the two cancers is striking and
discriminatory (though), illustrating yet again the institutionalized misandry
existing in Western societies. (Ray Blumhorst, National Coalition for Men)

3. In Mindanao, the southernmost and second largest of the Philippines'
islands, six of the 10 regions are among the top 10 nationally in terms of
poverty rates, with between 25 and 40 percent of families living in utter
poverty. Nationwide, the 30 most deprived provinces are home to more than
one-third of the Philippines' poorest families, resulting in generational
poverty that is incredibly difficult to emerge from. (Child Fund International)

What I Can Do
Direction: Read the additional notes from the teacher and do the activity.
#my_socio_class-autobiography at the end of the lecture notes.
TEACHER’s NOTE
What is Social Inequality?
- The best description of what social inequality is the uneven distribution of

wealth in our country, where few rich people had more, and the less
fortunate people have less in life.
- We often structure society by the way we divide people through different

social classes. Labeling the society as the upper class, middle class and the
lower or working class. These classes were often made on the basis of their
jobs and income. One thing that we know is that as they go up in a social
ladder, they often have better access to education, healthcare, and other
services such as housing, electricity, technology, clean water, and good
nutrition.
- One of the best examples of social inequality brought about by this

structured are felt by our minority group of people. They tend to have greater
degree of inequality experienced as manifested by their lower income, lower
education opportunities, reduce access to healthcare
- Aside from our minorities, very poor people also experience greater social
disadvantages.
- Social inequality was also very evident in gender to, we know that being
female carries with them certain disadvantages to social equality and that
female always experience differences in terms of pay from their work, and
were not given equal opportunities to be promoted to higher positions in a
private company or public institutions
What will happen when we have high rates of social inequality?

People might feel that they are socially excluded and politically
disempowered. This feeling may potentially create a combination of things which
can lead to civil unrest and may tempt people to do criminal activities.
16
What can we do about social inequality?
The government has the main duty to wind down if they cannot make it even
all these forms of social inequalities. It is one of the most important functions they
carried out. Their scope of power involves the exercise of authority in the
production, distribution, and use of resources. This describes who gets what and
under what circumstances.
Variety of government schemes to allow financial support or social support
like such as food stamps for individuals facing considerable hardships. They can
try and identify and remove barriers to healthcare and education for people facing
hardships. They can carry out further research into these vulnerable populations to
help understand their needs and try to figure out suitable interventions where they
can make a difference into lives of these people and allow them to integrate better
to our and become productive members of society.
Addressing social inequality was not the role of the government at all. Other
people and organizations may take initiative to come together to push for the
advancement of their common interests by means of collective actions. These
organizations known as the civil society organizations and non-governmental
organizations are consider as non-state, nonprofit, and voluntary organizations
play an important role in addressing problems of inequality. They were considered
as the third sector of the society who work side by side with government and
business sectors. One example are the private and business foundations and
independent NGO’s of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation helping the poor in the
3rd world and undeveloped countries. Red Cross Philippines provides emergency
relief, health needs and basic needs assistance of those who are in need. Trade
Union of the Philippines which provides help and legal assistance to our working
class who experiences injustices and maltreatment in the workplace.
Social inequality remains a problem and should be an everybody’s concern.
Global peace will not be possible for as long as problems arising from this
inequality persisted. As what Nelson Mandela of South Africa said and I quoted; “As
long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world none of us can
truly rest.”
So make your move and do you share.
Activity #my_socio_class-autobiography
After reading the additional teacher notes, you are tasked to make your own
Social Class Autobiography. In this activity you are given a chance to tell described
the social class where you currently belong to (upper, middle, lower). What made
you think that it is where that you belong to? In your own social class
autobiography, make sure to link your experiences to different class privileges or
social inequality that you might think you had encountered. Connect it to ideas
that we have discussed in this module like issues on poverty, education,
healthcare, food, water, etc. You might also include your dreams and aspirations in
life and things that you want to be and how you can reach that goals and
objectives.
17
Your autobiography should contain an introduction and a conclusion, and it
should address the following questions.:
1. Cite at least two events from your life that you experienced social inequality.
Describe how these occurred.
2. From these experienced, take time to analyze these experiences and how
does each event tell in relation to poverty, wealth, inequality, or privilege.
3. Reflect on what you have learned from examining your social class in your
life.
4. Suggest solutions to the experience you shared and how it can be avoided.
5. Is there something that the government can do to help you with the
problems you and your social class are now facing especially during this
time of pandemic?
