Social Equity
Social equity is concerned with justice and fairness of social policy.
Since the 1960s, the concept of social equity has been used in a variety of
institutional contexts, including education and public administration. The
concept of social equity can be traced back to the works
of Aristotle and Plato.

Definitions of social equity can vary but all focus on the ideals
of justice and fairness. Equity in old societies involves the role of public
administrators, who are responsible for ensuring that social services are
delivered equitably. This implies taking into account historical and cur-
rent inequalities among groups. Fairness is dependent on this social and
historical context. (Wikipedia)
