“…Some have argued that despite reductions of inequality, people remained dissatisfied with the quality of public services, such as education or health (Justino & Martorano, 2016). For instance, Chile's recent social movement in favour of public education illustrates this reality (Huenupi, 2021). Our findings highlight the importance of concerns about economic inequality in these domains and their clear connection with participation in collective actions to reduce inequality.…”

“…For instance, Ortiz et al (2020) showed that 12% of protests worldwide denounced inequalities in income and wealth, but another 17% of protests were driven by reforms that threaten the quality and quantity of public services, such as education and health. From this perspective, recent outstanding social movements have had education inequalities at their cores, such as in the cases of Chile (Huenupi, 2021), Colombia, and Brazil (Nava & Grigera, 2022). In addition, protests against health disparities have increased, becoming much more visible after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (Daniels, 2021; Kim et al, 2020;Rodríguez-Bailón, 2020).…”

Introduction: Income inequality is often tolerated and justified, but when it brings about disparities in other domains of life (e.g., health or education), it may be seen with different eyes. In this research, we aimed to explore concerns regarding economic inequality in health, education, and income, and its relationship to supporting collective actions to reduce inequality. Method: We used survey data (N = 20,204, 18 countries) from the Latinobarometer 2020. We conducted descriptive analyses, latent class analyses, and analyses of multilevel linear regression to test our hypothesis. Results: We found that people were more concerned about health access and education opportunities than income inequality. We also identified two classes of people: one class concerned about education and health and the other unconcerned about inequality in any domain. In addition, results showed that all concerns and class membership predicted greater support of collective actions to reduce inequality. Conclusions: These preliminary findings suggest that concerns about education and health disparities may serve to increase awareness of overall inequality and mobilise the public.
