Abstract. Income inequality is a global problem, and its effects are deeply felt in many countries, including the Republic of Moldova. Income inequality not only affects individuals' quality of life, but also limits their access to essential services such as health care, education and social assistance. In this article, we will research the impact of income inequality on access to social services in the Republic of Moldova and propose measures to solve this problem. These include economic and social reforms, investment in social infrastructure and the development of social protection programs.
