Equity. Equity means fairness or evenness, and achieving it is considered to be an economic objective. Despite the general recognition of the desirability of fairness, it is often regarded as too normative a concept given that it is difficult to define and measure. However, for most economists, equity relates to how fairly income and opportunity are distributed between different groups in society.
'Equity' actually has two separate definitions that have only a little to do with each other. It is the first definition that often causes confusion with 'equality'. This first definition is 'the quality of being fair and impartial'. You can see it seems similar to the definition of 'equality', but there is an important difference. Equity, in this definition, is also often used to discuss things like civil rights and opportunities. But while 'equality' has to do with two or more things, or groups of people, being equal, 'equity' refers to the treatment of those things, or groups of people.
