the claim

Inequity and inequality mean the same thing.

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Inequity and inequality mean the same thing?

No. A public-health reference work states that all health inequities are health inequalities but not all health inequalities are inequities, and a digital-divide study defines inequity as inequality plus exclusion, so the two terms are not interchangeable.
