In this comparison, crowdsourcing contests are relatively disadvantaged because the effort of losing contestants is wasted.
Finally, this inequality also meant that the minority rights were not seen as a universal right; it was exclusively a foreign policy issue, and thus populations that had no state to back up their claims were relatively disadvantaged when compared to ones backed up by a powerful state or group of interests.
An important finding from this research was that opposing socioeconomic gradients were observed for the availability of total and usable green space: deprived neighbourhoods were relatively disadvantaged in total green space availability, but had relatively more usable green space.
In Australia, individuals who live in urban areas generally have a greater range of options to access health services, while those who live in rural areas tend to be relatively disadvantaged in terms of access to multidisciplinary health services, including health services for pain [ 26], particularly in primary care [ 27].
For example, it has been shown that students from state grammar school do not have poorer performance on the UKCAT 16 or in school or university academic attainment 24 and are therefore unlikely to be relatively disadvantaged when applying for medical school.
Given a limited pool of funds for health care within a family it is at least possible that increased out-of-pocket spending for one family member during the CMS would decrease the funds available for another, and that adult women would be relatively disadvantaged.
Deprived neighbourhoods were relatively disadvantaged in total green space availability (11% less total green space for a one standard deviation increase in NZDep2001 deprivation score, p < 0.001), but had marginally more usable green space (2% more for a one standard deviation increase in deprivation score, p = 0.002).
Contrary to that assumption, some people prefer to compare themselves with others who are dissimilar (often those who are relatively disadvantaged), because doing so allows the individuals who are making the comparison to enhance their self-concept.
The Index of Relative Social Disadvantage (IRSD) developed by the ABS was also calculated to identify the geographical areas that were relatively disadvantaged[ 20].
