Urban inequality often leads to significant disparities in access to __________, which can perpetuate cycles of disadvantage among residents. A. education B. employment C. healthcare D. all of the above

Urban inequality means that people in different parts of a city get very different chances to succeed. When some neighborhoods lack good schools, safe jobs, or quality doctors, residents are stuck in a loop of poverty. This gap in education, employment, and healthcare keeps families from improving their lives. For example, a child growing up in a low‑income area may attend a crowded school, miss out on internships, and avoid medical care, while a child in a wealthier district gets top teachers, internships, and regular check‑ups. Because these disadvantages stack, the cycle of inequality continues from one generation to the next.
