Reduce inequalities within and among countries.
Despite the economic disruptions of the pandemic, the global share of people living on less than half the median income has been declining due to social assistance programmes. However, workers’ wages have not kept pace with productivity, and labour’s share of GDP has resumed its long-term decline.
A historic reversal is threatening improvements in inequality among countries. The economies of half the world’s most vulnerable countries have been growing at slower rates than those of wealthy countries.
More people died on migration routes in 2023 than in any other year on record. The number of refugees worldwide reached a historic high.
Developing countries are not fairly represented in international economic decision-making. Strengthening their voice and participation is crucial to ensuring a more inclusive and equitable global economic system.
Addressing inequality both within and among countries necessitates equitable resource distribution, investment in education and skills, social protection measures, efforts to stop discrimination, support for marginalized groups, and international cooperation for fair trade and financial systems.
