📝Poverty tax
Is a situation when people pay more for equivalent goods just because they are poor / live in poor area.
Examples
- Some areas may have higher prices. But people who have cars can access cheaper locations
- Price of small product packages is usually higher per unit (volume discounts)
- Poorer people have worse and more expensive health conditions
- Education. Underfunded schools, and poorer education outcomes, can lead to lower lifetime earnings.
