Equity Vs Equality

While equity and equality may sound similar, in reality, they are anything but. The implementation of one versus the other can lead to dramatically different outcomes both within and outside the workplace, so let's see what they mean and their differences. 
Equality
Equality means giving each individual the same resources or opportunities without paying any attention to the fairness of the desired outcome. 
Equity
Equity on the other hand, recognises that every person has different outcomes and capabilities and thus provides the resources necessary to reach an equal outcome. 

Equity Vs Equality

Our society is making strides in achieving equality in all fields of life, yet being fair and equal is not always sufficient. Sometimes people may need different treatments to achieve their goals. Equity ensures this.
