REDUCE INEQUALITY WITHIN AND AMONG COUNTRIES

It’s an old story: the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. The divide has never been starker. We can and must adopt policies that create opportunity for everyone, regardless of who they are or where they come from. Income inequality is a global problem that requires global solutions. That means improving the regulation of financial markets and institutions, sending development aid where it is most needed and helping people migrate safely so they can pursue opportunities. We’ve made so much progress on poverty in the last 15 years, and now we can change the direction of the old story of inequality.
