This paper examines the relationship between inequality and social cohesion, utilizing a recent definition that includes trust, inclusive identity, and cooperation. It finds that higher inequality generally correlates with lower social cohesion, particularly in Africa, where unique patterns emerge, especially regarding vertical trust. Further research is needed to explore these findings.
