Do these phrases have the same meaning?

I am writing a essay about the gap between the rich and the poor. I am wondering if it is appropriate to paraphrase "the gap between the rich and the poor" with "unequal wealth distribution", "economic inequality" or "gap between affluent and underprivileged people".

If they do not have the same meaning, could you suggest some phrase I could use to avoid repetition? Thank you very much
