Une nuance de sens existe entre les termes «inégalité» et «disparité» selon le contexte. Cependant, dans le domaine de la sociologie, le terme «inégal» signifie «qui n'est pas sur le même rang, qui n'a pas les mêmes droits», ce qui démontre qu'il y a des écarts ou une différence, et par conséquent une disparité. C'est sans doute pour cette raison que les termes «inégalité entre les sexes» et «disparité entre les sexes» sont traités comme synonymes dans le domaine. 4, record 1, French, - in%C3%A9galit%C3%A9%20entre%20les%20sexes
