GOAL 10: REDUCED INEQUALITIES
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 regula-
tion 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.
