Goal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries

 

• “The incomes of the poorest 40 per cent of the population had been growing faster than the national average in most countries.” (Martin, 2023)

• “The pandemic has caused the largest rise in between-country inequality in three decades.” (Martin, 2023)

• “Reducing both within- and between-country inequality requires equitable resource distribution, investing in education and skills development, implementing social protection measures, combating discrimination, supporting marginalized groups and fostering international cooperation for fair trade and financial systems.” (Martin, 2023)

• “Inequalities based on income, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, class, ethnicity, religion and opportunity continue to persist across the world.” (Martin, 2023)

• “Older persons, migrants and refugees face lack of opportunities and discrimination – an issue that affects every country in the world.” (Martin, 2023)
