Equity & Equality
Equity: Equity implies giving as much
advantage, consideration, or latitude to
one party what he need actually. Along
with economy, effectiveness, and
efficiency, Equity is essential for ensuring
that extent and costs of funds, goods and
services are fairly divided among their
recipients. It involves trying to understand
and give people what they need actually.
Equality: The quality or state of
being equal and having the same
rights, social status. Equality aims to
ensure that everyone gets the same
things in order to enjoy full lives.
Equality is ensuring individuals or
groups of individuals are not
treated differently or less favorably
on the basis of age, gender, race,
religion, disability.
Equality=Sameness
Equity= Fairness
Equality vs Equity
Equality is about sameness. It promotes
fairness and justice by giving everyone
the same thing. But it can only work
if everyone starts from the same
place.
Equity is about fairness. It is about
making sure people get access to the
same opportunities. Sometimes our
differences or history can create
barriers to participation, so we must
ensure equity before we can enjoy
equality.
One of the differences is the fact that equality
obviously denotes that everyone is at the
same level, whereas equity denotes everyone
is getting the rights what they deserve.
Here An example, which would bring out the
principal difference between the two, would
like a family is in dinner table. Equality
would mean that everybody; father, mother
and children – would get a piece of the
same size. Equity, on the other hand, would
mean that they take the sensible option, and
divide it according to their needs, i.e. larger
sized pieces for the adult and smaller pieces
for the children.
When we say equity, we refer to the
qualities of justness, fairness, impartiality
and even handedness. When we talk
about equality, we are talking about
equal sharing and exact
division. Equality equals quantity,
whereas equity equals quality.
A perfect example to understand the
differences of this two concept is the
feminist movement.
If women demand they should be
treated in the same way as men,
that would not be possible, equality
is not possible here, because women
and men are different, and cannot
be treated in exactly the same way.
However, if they demand equity in
how the world treats them, it
would be a genuine demand. And
now they are demanding that they
should be given the same rights as
men have as human beings. It is
fairness, not sameness.
The ideas of equality and equity
are often misunderstood and
misused. If we talk about
equity and equality in
education we should be clear
that educational equality is
that schools should offer all
students the same education.
This way all students will have
an equal chance. And a
common understanding of
educational equity is that all
children should be given the
education they need to
achieve certain outcomes.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) refers to health inequities and
health disparities interchangeably as "types of
unfair health differences closely linked with
social, economic or environmental
disadvantages that adversely affect groups of
people." As such, equity is a process and
equality is an outcome of that process. So the
route to achieving equity will not be
accomplished through treating everyone equally.
It will be achieved by treating everyone
equitably, or justly according to their
circumstances."
For health care providing the
same type and number of
resources to all is not needed.
In order to reduce the health
disparities gap, the
underlying issues and
individual needs of
underserved and vulnerable
populations must be
effectively addressed. So
health equity is more
important than health
equality in health care term.
There is a common misconception that equity
and equality mean the same thing and that
they can be used interchangeably. But the
truth is they do not and cannot. Yes, the
two words are similar, but the difference
between them is crucial. So please, do not
talk about equality when you really mean
equity and do not talk about equity when
you mean equality.
