Introduction
Social and income inequality occurs in any society when the distribution of resources in a society is unequal. That the unequal distribution of resources creates problems that are called inequality. The concept of 100 percent equality is an idealistic approach that cannot be achieved in reality but there is some solution through which you minimize this rate of inequality in a society.
Income and social inequality is the topmost important problem of any state, turkey is one of the emerging states,s and maintaining income and social equality is also on the top agenda policy in turkey. Income inequality in turkey is not much high, but there is inequality that dived turkey in different socio-economic classes, if the gap will not tamely be managed by every day it is difficult to manage this. The gap between societies on the basis of income is very dangerous (Chiswick
, 1974). This gap is a threat to all spheres of life it is also a threat to political stability. This is the need for time to give extra importance to this burning issue of inequality in the society of turkey.
There are many actors that play an important role in resolving this issue, such as the government, the population, the business community, and civil society. If all these actors or stakeholders work collectively this issue will be resolved easily, but there are very minimal chances that all the stakeholders on one point agenda to resolve the issue. Generally, the population is the primary actor who is most affected by this inequality and the government plays a key role to resolve this income and social inequality issue.
What recommendations can you make to address this issue?
This issue income and social inequality are important issues and this issue cannot be handled by a single, if all the factors or the stakeholder of this issue work jointly will play an important role to resolve this issue. Each and every society is different from one another and the causes of the problem also be different from society to society, and that problem will resolve with the use of different techniques that is suitable or help to resolve these problems and also suitable for society. In resolving social problems this is kept in mind that either these solutions suit this societal structure are not.
The economic factor plays an important role to solve many social problems. If there is economic equality in any society then there is a minimum chance of class division (Adelman & Robinson, 1989). Government must focus on the economic factor that plays an important role to solve this issue. Government or authorities that have the power to make policies there is a need time to more focus on income equality because income inequality plays a vital role to solve other issues or problems. In any society, there is a chance of robbery.

In DEVOS the world business leaders identified that the growing inequality is one of the major threats to the world economy, it is the demand of time that this issue will be managed, if this income and social inequality will be not managed at this time it is harmful to the whole globe, its create social, political economic and also a security threat.
Social and economic inequality is a different phenomena. This is an important issue and it had a direct relation, economic inequality plays an important role to divide society into different social classes, if any society is divided into different social classes it is very difficult to maintain peace in that society. If in society this income and social inequality gap will increase it is a threat to the political system (Braithwaite1980).
If this important issue of income inequality cannot be resolved it will create many other problems like health issues, street crimes, and many other social problems, because there is a very much close relationship between all these problems and income. If the economic condition of any society is good there is a chance that the health condition of society is good. Economic income plays a very important role in every society solving the problem, there is a huge chance all the problems that exist in society have a link with economics or income.
When there is income equality in society then a society runs smoothly. There is a huge number of social evils or illnesses that are much closer related to economics or income such as corruption. If in society is income equality in any society there is a minimum chance of social illness.

The middle and lower middle class is more affected by this social and income inequality and must focus on this portion of the population government need to make such policies that support or uplift the standard of life. If this portion of the population larger share of your population it will help to minimize the gap between rich and poor. Due to the increasing gap between the rich and poor this middle-class portion of the population decree in number if this portion of the population is missing in any nation it is an alarming situation.
The middle class plays an important role in any society. The middle class is a symbol of stability either social economic is political stability. This class plays an important role in the development of any state. Increasing the middle class plays an important role to minimize this ratio of income and social inequality in Turkish society.
What research is there to prove your point?

There are many other stakeholders who play an important role in decrees this gap within society. Government, civil society, and the business community also play an important role to minimize this income and social inequality in turkey.
Identify 3-4 stakeholders and explain what they see as the problem.

Peoples or populations:
Another important stakeholder that is badly hit by this gap is the general population, this stakeholder has a huge share, and the negative impact of this income and social inequality direct hit this stakeholder.
