Intergenerational inequality has become a defining feature of contemporary societies, shaping the distribution of resources, opportunities, and life chances across families and social groups. Wealth, power, and cultural capital are transmitted from one generation to the next, reproducing class hierarchies and limiting social mobility. This paper explores the mechanisms through which inequality is perpetuated, focusing on the intergenerational transfer of material assets, political influence, and symbolic resources. Wealth accumulation, access to education, social networks, and cultural practices collectively ensure that advantage is concentrated among certain groups while disadvantage persists among others. Power dynamics reinforce these inequalities by preserving elite control over economic and political institutions. Meanwhile, cultural capital—embodied in language, norms, and values—legitimizes privilege and naturalizes social hierarchies. Although policy interventions and social movements attempt to reduce inequality, structural barriers often sustain these patterns across time. The study concludes that addressing intergenerational inequality requires a holistic approach that combines economic redistribution, political reform, and cultural transformation.
