How to use "Disparity" in context?
The disparity in wealth and power, especially between men and women, is one of the most glaring disparities in our society. A study released in 2014, by the World Economic Forum, ranked inequality as the greatest global threat to society. Globally, 1% of the population owns almost as much wealth as the rest of the population. This disparity is especially pronounced in developed countries, where the top 1% now owns more wealth than the bottom 60%. The main culprits for this disparity are globalization and technological change. They have forced many jobs to move offshore, making it harder for workers in industrialized countries to compete for wages.
