Social inequality undermines social stability by eroding trust, fueling resentment, and increasing the risk of conflict. Extreme income and wealth gaps reduce social mobility, weaken institutional legitimacy, and raise crime rates, protest frequency, and even civil unrest. When large groups feel systematically excluded, cooperation declines and polarization grows, threatening long-term social cohesion.Related sources: https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/fandd/issues/2020/03/impact-of-inequality-on-growth-and-stability-berg https://www.oecd.org/social/inequality-and-social-instability.htm https://www.brookings.edu/articles/inequality-and-violence/
