Why spatial patterns of social inequalities vary
Education
Accessing basic education can be a major issue in rural regions in LIDCs
Illiteracy excludes people from accessing education/ training so reduces employment opportunities
Most governments invest in education ri raise quality of life and standard of living
Housing
Demand exceeds supply
Millions live in slum housing
Smaller income = less housing choices
Homelessness is a growing issue in urban ACs
Health
Rural areas- difficult to get to places
The elderly have limited mobility
Poor sanitation and diet in LIDCs
Wealth

Lack of formal qualifications and low skill, major obstacle to incomes so increasing social inequality
If a persons income rises, food and living essential also raise in price then the person is relatively less well off

Access to service is influenced by 3 factors : number of services, how easy it is to get to these services, social and economic factors
