17. Estate System is
a politically
based system of
stratification
characterized by
limited social
mobility that is

South.
Caste System is a
system of
stratification based
on hereditary notions

theological purity
and generally offers

social mobility. The
varna system in India
is the most common
example today of a
caste system.
Class System is
an economically
based system of
stratification
characterized by
somewhat loose
social mobility
and categories
based on roles in
the production
process rather
than individual
characteristics.

Core (wealthy, highly developed, slow
pop. growth, high standard of living) –
U.S., Europe
Periphery (poor, less developed, rapid
pop. growth, lower standard of living) -
Africa
Semi-periphery (beginning to develop;

20.  Ways to Address Inequalities (National)
Countries need to embrace/adopt an
integrated program that looks at the
problem across the social, economic and
environmental dimensions, as well as
access to education, health care and
resources to effectively solve inequality.
Vital to these solutions is a host of
interventions that promote equitable
access to resources and services, as well
as inclusive growth with descent jobs and
livelihoods for all people within society.

21. The following are the top solutions to
income inequality:
1. Improved education
2. Tax policy
3. Social welfare policy

 Several Filipinos who voted for the
politicians in the Philippine government are

are uneducated they have menial jobs and no
money so most of the time would accept
electoral bribery. Being poor they would
usually turn to crime and drugs.
