Explanation:

Economic equality describes a situation that ensures that every individual in a society has an equal economic opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents by having some access to resources.  Equality reduces discrimination among certain groups of the population, especially those with protected characteristics such as race, disability, sex, and sexual orientation.  It ensures the fair distribution of natural resources among the population, according to their individual needs and capacity.  It does not mean sameness in social or economic status.
