A DESIGUALDADE SOCIAL EM ANGOLA NO CONTEXTO DE CRISE: CAUSAS, CONSEQUÊNCIAS E POSSÍVEIS SOLUÇÕES

Abstract

This article analyses social inequality in Angola within the context of crisis, identifying its main causes, consequences, and possible solutions. Social inequality is understood as a multidimensional phenomenon reflected in unequal access to income, education, healthcare, employment, justice, and other fundamental rights. In Angola, this phenomenon results from the interaction of historical, political, economic, and institutional factors, further aggravated by recurring economic crises and the weaknesses of redistributive public policies.

The research adopts a qualitative approach complemented by the analysis of statistical indicators, using bibliographic and documentary methods to examine the issue in light of legal doctrine, legislation, and official data. The findings show that wealth concentration, dependence on the oil sector, corruption, regional disparities, limited economic diversification, and deficiencies in public service delivery are among the main factors responsible for the persistence of social inequality in Angola.

The study concludes that reducing social inequality requires the implementation of inclusive public policies, stronger democratic institutions, good governance, effective anti-corruption measures, investment in human capital, and a fairer distribution of national resources as essential conditions for achieving social justice and sustainable development.
