Which concept emphasizes equity among people within the same generation?

• A. Intergenerational Equity
• B. Sustainable Development
• C. Global Equity
• D. Intra Generational Equity

Answer: (D)

Equity within a single generation means fairness among all people who are alive at the same time, across different groups and communities. It focuses on how resources, opportunities, and services—like income, education, healthcare, and housing—are distributed so that no subgroup is systemically disadvantaged right now.

This differs from fairness between generations, which looks at how today’s actions affect people in the future, and from global equity, which concerns fairness across different countries. Sustainable development ties those ideas together by balancing present needs with future impacts, but it isn’t specifically about fairness within the same generation.

So the concept that emphasizes fairness among people within the same generation is intra-generational equity.
