Social Equity
Social equity is concerned with justice and fairness of social
policy. Since the 1960s, the concept of social equity has been used
in a variety of institutional contexts, including education and public
administration. The concept of social equity can be traced back to
the works of Aristotle and Plato.
Definitions of social equity can vary but all focus on the ideals of
justice and fairness. Equity in old societies involves the role of public
administrators, who are responsible for ensuring that social services
are delivered equitably. This implies taking into account historical and
current inequalities among groups. Fairness is dependent on this
