A few topics that income inequality seems to effect are public health, education, and social connections. For instance, evidence shows that higher income inequality results in more spending for public education. So, the strains of high income inequality stifles economic growth and causes increased public education spending than would be expected if income inequality was lower. Meanwhile, income inequality has resulted in greater geographic segregation between persons of lower incomes from those of higher incomes. This means that both poverty and wealth have been clustering in our cities since 1970 – on an average day, then, people of different incomes are less likely to come into contact with one another. This seems to indicate that people of different income brackets will share less in common and feel less responsible for others in society.
