Social inequality profoundly impacts political participation, as individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds often face systemic barriers to engagement. Factors such as economic status, education, and social networks play a significant role in shaping an individual's ability and willingness to vote or engage politically. Those in lower socioeconomic brackets may lack time, resources, or information necessary for effective participation. Additionally, feelings of disenfranchisement can lead to apathy toward political processes. Addressing social inequality through targeted outreach and support programs is essential to enhance participation and ensure that all voices contribute to the democratic process.
