Introduction 9
l Economic Inequalities
Income 16
Income inequality both between and within countries has risen dramatically during the
process of industrialization.
Household Wealth 18
Household wealth is unevenly distributed across the world. A huge proportion is
concentrated in the hands of a very few.
Consumption 20
Poor households have to spend most of their income on food, with little left for other
purposes.
Work Unemployment 22
Differences in livelihoods, remuneration, unemployment, and underemployment create
considerable inequalities.
Lahor Migration 24
Labor migration can help address global inequalities.
2 Power Inequalities
3 Social Inequalities
26
International Trade 28
Globally determined commodity prices and high tariffs on imports from poorer nations
create barriers to trade equality.
Budget Priorities 30
The proportion of GDP that governments spend on the military, healthcare, education,
and social security provides one measure of their social priorities.
Government Action 32
In response to popular pressure, governments may attempt to reduce inequality through
minimum wage laws, progressive taxation, and land reforms.
Freedom Democracy 34
While freedoms and democracy are hard to quantify, even rough measures indicate
significant inequalities within and between nations.
Incarceration Execution 36
Rates of imprisonment vary widely around the world, and the use of
execution is rare in industrialized countries.
38
Gender 40
Bias against women is refected in their unequal political and economic participation
and influence, their hours in unpaid work, and in the preference for sons over
daughters.
Age 42
Age distinctions can create inequalities by excluding age groups and undervaluing their
work. Population structures provide impetus for looking beyond national boundaries.
Class 44
Class divisions separate the rich and powerful from those who have little opportunity to
gain wealth and influence.
Race Ethnicity 46
Some minority ethnic and religious groups suffer systematic discrimination. Inequalities
associated with ethnicity are frequently intertwined with those of gender and poverty.
Child Labor 48
Millions of children are employed in paid or household work. Raising wages and
reducing poverty is the most effective way of reducing child labor.
4 Inequalities of Access
5 Health Inequalities
50
Poverty 52
Poverty remains widespread, but recent studies suggest new avenues for action.
Hunger 54
Hunger, is one of the most devastating dimensions of inequality. Children are
particularly at risk from its effects.
Household Water 56
Poor people and those living in rural areas are least likely to have easy access to safe
drinking water.
Energy 58
Energy is a prerequisite for economic opportunities and human development that
remains inaccessible to many due to poverty, rural location, or lack of infrastructure.
Household Fuel 60
Most people in developing countries have access only to biomass and solid fuels for
household use. These fuels pose serious health hazards.
Mobility 62
The opportunity to travel easily and safely even for short distances is a key indicator of
both economic and gender inequality.
Digital Divide 64
The digital divide between industrialized and non-industrialized countries constrains the
advance of healthcare, education, social freedoms, and livelihoods.
66
Life Expectancy 68
Societies with higher GDP tend to have higher life expectancy. Societies with greater
equality achieve longer life spans than more unequal societies.
Maternal Mortality 70
The half a million women who die each year from complications related to pregnancy
are mainly from the poorest people in the least developed countries.
Child Mortality 72
Children in developing countries become sick and often die of preventable or treatable
diseases.
Access to Healthcare 74
Access to healthcare is worst in low-income countries, in rural areas and for the poor.
The rich benefit most from government health expenditure.
Infectious Diseases 76
Malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis have a devastating effect on the poorest and most
vulnerable people in developing countries.
6 Educational Inequalities ?8
Literacy 80
Poverty, poor quality education, and lack of educational opportunity for girls all
influence national literacy levels.
Barriers to Education 82
Poverty, gender, disability, language, location, and ethnicity constitute major barriers to
education.
Early Childhood Care Education 84
Children who are denied access to early childhood care and preschool education suffer
a range of health and educational disadvantages.
7 Environmental Inequalities
8 Towards Equality
86
Climate Change 88
Industrialized countries have historically been the largest carbon emitters, but
developing nations and the poor bear the brunt of the resultant climate disasters.
Deforestation 90
Rapid deforestation is having a negative environmental impact and threatening the
livelihoods of a quarter of the world s population.
Air Pollution Health 92
Air pollution, both indoors and outdoors, is a significant cause of death and disabling
disease.
Water Health 94
A tenth of all disease could be alleviated by improvements in household water,
sanitation, and water-resource management. The poor arc most likely to lack clean
water and sanitation services.
