Explanation:
A decent and dignified life for all 7.5 billion people in the world is possible. The world is not short on technological and financial resources. And so everyone could have a quality education, a secure income, access to good healthcare and live in a clean and safe environment. Why should anyone be hungry when we know that reducing food waste, changing diets and increasing yields could provide food for double the current population? Likewise, if the world can spend some 1.7 trillion USD on the military each year, generating the estimated 1.4 trillion USD required annually to finance the SDGs is certainly within the realm of the possible.
So why are 1.5 billion people still multidimensionally poor? Why are deprivations in fundamental conditions of life like food, decent work and clean water so prevalent across many societies? The reason is not merely technical or financial. It is linked to deeply rooted social and political inequalities. Discriminatory laws, exclusionary social norms, and imbalances in opportunities for political participation and influence stand at the root of deprivation and disadvantage. They perpetuate divides where women have fewer choices than men, the poor have fewer choices than the rich, migrants have fewer choices than citizens, and some ethnicities have fewer choices than others.
For example, traditions of child marriage, laws that require approval from husbands to work, and norms that distribute the bulk of unpaid care work to women limit the choices women have and curtail overall human development outcomes across societies. Likewise, when one ethnicity, religion or class monopolizes the political landscape, policies are less likely to address the needs of underrepresented groups. In certain contexts – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Northern Ireland in the UK, South Sudan, and Syria to name a few – such inequalities erupt in violent conflicts that further undermine human development progress.
Political and social barriers will not be easily overcome. Especially if we do not recognize them as central and highly complex impediments to progress. A key challenge today is that existing divisions may be deepening. The world in which people make decisions is global and competitive with multiple pressures from volatile financial systems, demographic shifts, environmental degradation and climate change, and new technologies and systems of work. The pace of change is rapid and unpredictable. Protecting or securing access to jobs is a foremost concern for many people. In this context, social cohesion, mutual respect and tolerance of differences can be strained or breakdown altogether morphing into xenophobia, nationalism, discrimination and sometimes violence. The exclusion that results can be intentional or unintentional but with the same results – some will be more deprived than others and all people will not have equal opportunities for realizing their full potential.
