Question

Our society is disrupted by the ever-widening gap between rich and poor. One percent of the worlds population controls half of all global wealth. While a quarter of worlds population struggles to feed themselves daily. Write a response describing the causes and consequences of the situatio

Answer 1

Answer:

We all know that the world is an unequal place, both across and within countries. We also know that across the world, people are expressing their anger and disgust at this inequality. This is increasingly revealed in extreme and often paradoxical political results. In the USA, a vote against the establishment has just delivered to power the ultimate crony capitalist, Donald Trump. In the United Kingdom people voted to leave the European Union in the false expectation that curbing migration will improve their own life chances. In India the poor, disgusted by a corrupt self-enriching elite, support a bizarre and drastic demonetisation that leads to their own further impoverishment while leaving the supposed targets, the corrupt rich, relatively unscathed.

But here’s the thing: inequality has been a hot topic of international discussion for around a decade, but in that time, it has got worse, not better! Since the time when international organisations took up this issue and Thomas Piketty published his global bestseller on inequality, the evidence is that the problem has intensified, not reduced

Hope it's helpful dear........

Answer 2

Typical government initiatives to reduce economic inequality include: Public education: Increasing the supply of skilled labor and reducing income inequality due to education differentials. Progressive taxation: The rich are taxed proportionally more than the poor, reducing the amount of income inequality in society.
