  8. Comparing cost of living inequalities for different types of rural areas “A family with two children in a village requires nearly £60 a week more to achieve the same minimum living standard as an urban family, adding 15 per cent to the budget.” Source – Joseph Roundtree Foundation report on rural inequality 2010. The table shows - Additional weekly rural costs for rural household types, compared with UK average: cash difference and rural cost as percentage increase on corresponding urban budget (excluding housing costs and childcare). It is generally accepted that the cost of living in rural areas is more expensive than urban areas. This data, however shows how living in a hamlet is more expensive than living in a rural town. Additional transports are mostly to blame. Annual household mileages for different rural areas and people

  10. Perspectives regarding inequality Marxism Marxism favours an eventual society where distribution is based on an individual's needs rather than his ability to produce, inheritance, or other such factors. In such a system inequality would be minimal. Marxists believe economic equality is necessary for political freedom—saying that when there is economic inequality then political inequality is assured—in such a society currency would be eliminated, the means of production owned in common and non-labour income eliminated (rent/profit or surplus value). Marxists believe that once the means of production are owned in common and worked for utility rather than profit, that all workers receive a voice in a democratic workplace and the money incentive removed, economic equality will be achieved. Marxist Leninists believe that, during the transitional period between capitalism and socialism, workers will be paid based on "to each according to labour" as opposed to "to each according to need".
