Economic inequality can severely affect public trust in government, as disparities often contribute to perceptions of corruption and bias. When individuals perceive that resources and opportunities are distributed unfairly, they may become disenchanted with political institutions, believing they serve the interests of the wealthy rather than the general populace. Consequently, this distrust can lead to lower political participation and engagement, perpetuating cycles of inequality. To restore trust, governments must prioritize transparent policies, equitable resource distribution, and inclusive engagement with citizens to help bridge the gap.
