The migrant nightmare: Addressing disparities is a key challenge for developed nations
Journal Title: Journal of Health and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Editorial: The benefits of economic growth over the last 25 years have been unequally distributed. The gap between rich and poor is at its highest level in most Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries in 30 years. Today, the wealthiest 10 percent of the population in the OECD areas earns 9.5 times more than the poorest 10 percent. Economic inequality, also called ‘income inequality’ or ‘wealth inequality’, indicates those differences in terms of different measures of economic well-being among people within and among countries. These inequalities lead to high rates of health and social problems, and low rates of social goods.
