Answer
While income inequality remains a challenge in many democracies, the democratic process provides avenues for addressing and mitigating inequality through policy measures that promote fairness and inclusivity. Democratic governments can implement progressive taxation, social safety nets, and education policies that reduce income disparities and provide equal opportunities. The successes of various democratic nations like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany in reducing inequality suggest that, while not guaranteed, democracy can indeed foster a more equitable distribution of income given the right policies and political will.
