Contextual Usage

Do not translate '불공정한 경제' as 'unfair economy system'—the noun phrase '경제' already implies 'system' in this context.

📖Word Origin

불공정(不公正, unfair) + 경제(經濟, economy). The term combines the Sino-Korean prefix '불-' (not) with '공정' (fair) and '경제' (economy).

📝Usage Notes

Commonly used in political, economic, and social contexts to critique systemic inequalities. Often paired with terms like '빈부격차' (wealth gap) or '계층 갈등' (class conflict).
