Answer:

Inequality is the situation whereby there is a clear difference in access to certain economic and social resources by one sector of the population compared to others. Thus, the abysmal differences in income, levels of education, health or housing between the different social classes show this type of inequality situation.

On the other hand, poverty is a more concrete concept, in which one or several individuals have a situation of scarcity of elementary economic resources, which directly affects their quality of life.
