10. Reduce inequality

Reduce inequality within and between countries

Income inequality between countries has decreased in recent years. But inequality within countries has only increased. Between 1990 and 2010, income inequality within developing countries increased by 11 percent. But income inequality has also increased within developed countries. There is growing global support for the idea that economic progress is not enough to reduce poverty. Economic growth must be inclusive. In other words, everyone must be included. And when we talk about economic growth, we must also consider social aspects and the environment.

Income growth

Goal ten states that countries should pay more attention to the income growth of poor people. Accordingly, the income of the poorest 40 percent of the national population should grow faster than the national average by 2030. Global financial institutions should be better regulated and controlled.

Discrimination

Within this goal there is also room for migration. Migration and mobility of people must be better and more securely organized. Discriminatory laws and practices that only increase inequality must also be ended. Everyone must have equal opportunities and be involved in all social, economic and political aspects of society.
