Social inequality and spatial injustice are studied in Venezuela. Social inequality and spatial injustice are studied in Venezuela, at the state level and between 1961-2021/2022. To do this, the approach of individual capabilities and the spatial distribution of the equipment necessary to create them is used, and two indicators are designed: Index of Basic Individual Capacities and Index of Territorial Equipment. According to the results, until 2011: 1) spatial injustice was reduced more than social inequality; 2) Apure is the state that has accumulated the most lags in basic individual capabilities such as territorial equipment; 3) Capital District is the entity that is most advanced in basic individual capabilities; 4) there is no state that maintains its primacy in the field of territorial equipment, and 5) the states furthest behind in 1961 were those that experienced the greatest advances in basic individual capabilities and territorial equipment. It is concluded that currently, the country shows signs of deterioration in all the indicators studied, a slowdown in the reduction of social inequality and an unprecedented increase in spatial injustice, which represents a setback in development achievements. Consequently, Venezuela has been and continues to be a country of inequalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
