Reduced Inequalıtıes

Defeat Income InEqualıty...

Save Our world's Economy

"I support Sustainable Global Goals Number 10: Reduced Inequalities because I want Martin Luther's dream come true. Here is his dream: " I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

What Is Income Inequality?

Income inequality is the difference found in various measures of economic well-being among individuals in a group, among groups in a population, or among countries. It may not seem like a very big problem, but it is what very well shapes the destruction of a country's GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Just imagine a businessman owning around 89% of a population's money. It's pretty horrible when you think about it that way.

Countries Affected:

U.S. (Got Worse Over The Years)
South Asia (Used To Be Good)
South Africa (Dire Situation)
Mexico and Central America
China
South America
Papua New Guinea
Russia

Surprisingly, this is only a FEW!!!

There is a stereotype in our society:

SOME JOBS ARE FOR WOMEN, SOME JOBS ARE FOR MEN.

Why Income Inequalıty Is Bad For a Socıety

Income Inequality causes a lot of problems, and they can really tear down a society. Here are a few:

Education

It's pretty obvious that a person needs money to go to school, and when income inequality is present, that's not going to happen. During the 1960's, only 5% of lower class people in the US went to college, while 35% of the rich class earned a college education. This difference gets worse every year. It's a pretty bad situation, and it can get worse.

Economic Growth

A good amount of economists agree that income inequality has declined countries' economic growth. Because the amount of money spent between classes differ, the lower and middle class of a country soon become too weak to support consumer spending, which is what drives economic growth.

Crime

When income inequality increases in a country, the incentive for crime grows. This is shown in present day Mexico, as some people have become poorer from inequality, giving them a good reason for crime. Along with this, the rich people become richer, increasing the benefits of crime.

How We Can Defeat Income Inequalıty

If income inequality could be eliminated, so many problems would be gone. Here are a few things to get us started on taking down this enormous problem:

Raise Work Pay

Some of the fastest growing jobs; retail, hospital, and childcare are big but they don't pay very well at all. If we can push for a higher federal minimum wage in countries, then we can get at least somewhere in building up money in the lower classes of a society.

Invest in Education

It is already a worldwide problem that some unlucky people don't have access to education. If we invest in it, more of the lower class can get more worthwhile jobs and make more money, strengthening the lower classes of a society. This can potentially balance out inequality.

Build a Family Support System

A lot of countries in Europe don't have income inequality because they have at least a basic welfare system. If welfare systems can be provided for more countries, we could take a big step in defeating income inequality.

What about human ınequalıty?

What Is Human Inequality?

Human inequality is a worldwide problem. It involves stereotypes that create an inequality. In the United States of America and a lot more countries, all people are supposed to have equal rights. At this current day, people around the world are bullied or have a lesser chance of success because others feel that they have less rights. Learn more below.

Age Inequality

Age inequality is created through people who believe people above a certain age aren't equal. It may seem vague, but have you ever seen someone call someone else grandma or grandpa just because they look old?

Racial Inequality

People around the world create stereotypes because they believe someone of another race is abnormal or breaks the law more often. This happens everywhere and may be the longest lasting inequality in the world.

Religion Inequality

People around the world are bullied, given a disadvantage, or terrorized because of religion. Recently, terrorist groups have been terrorizing places around the world because they practice differing religions. These events are the most dangerous kinds of religion inequality.
