If the car has disc brakes, uneven wear is a symptom of a poorly performing brake caliper. The piston is not fully retracting, or the caliper is not freely "sliding" on its' pins (bolts). Either defect will allow for constant contact of the brake pad with the rotor, creating advanced wear.
If the question concerns why the front brakes wear out sooner, then the answer is physics. 70% of the stopping power comes from the front brakes, the majority of weight is on the front axel, and you are most often stopping forward motion. All these factors create a much quicker rate of wear in your front brakes...which is normal.

What happens when tires are unaligned?
They wear more quickly and unevenly. Such a condition can affect steering.
What cause tire wear unevenly in patches?
Improper inflation or front end out of alignment.
Why do f1 cars need friction?
F1 cars need friction for their brakes, if they didn't have friction on there brakes then it wouldn't be able to brake.
Why do tires of cars need replacement?
Tires are a wear item just as brakes are. They will wear from friction. Properly inflated they should wear evenly. PSI inflation should be checked regularly. If they are not wearing evenly the vehicle may need an alignment.
How do you get the parking brake light to go off when the brake isn't on?
In most new cars the parking brake light is also activated when the linings of your brakes wear out.
