Reduced Inequalities

Level the Playing Field

REDUCE INEQUALITIES BETWEEN COUNTRIES


“There is growing consensus that economic growth is not sufficient to reduce poverty if it is not inclusive and if it does not involve the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental. To reduce inequality, policies should be universal in principle paying attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized populations.”

– United Nations

The following facts can be found on the official website of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

It's time to face them.

These Are The Facts


Tackling Income Inequality


Up to 30% of income inequality is due to inequality within households, including between women and men.

11% increase in income inequality


In 2016, over 64.4% of products exported by the least developed countries to world markets faced zero tariffs, an increase of 20% since 2010.

3x more likely to die


Evidence from developing countries shows that children in the poorest 20 percent of the populations are still up to three times more likely to die before their fifth birthday than children in the richest countries.

THE SOLUTION?

LET'S REDUCE INEQUALITY.

By 2030

This Sustainable Development Goal strives to progressively achieve and sustain income growth of the bottom 40% of the population at a rate higher than the national average. It also endeavors to empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status and eliminate discriminatory laws, policies and practices by promoting appropriate legislation, policies and action.

Stop Wishing. Start Doing.
