HUNGER AND POVERTY

Based from Milanovic, 2002, as cited by HDR, 2003:

• Richest 5% of the world's people receives 114 times the income of the poorest 5 %.

• Richest 1% receives as much as the income of the poorest 57 %

There is a HUGE NUMBER of people who live in ABSOLUTE POVERTY while there are those who are EXTREMELY WEALTHY.

Challenging Economic Inequity

How can the resources of the world be more fairly

distributed?

Global1. Establish a new international and political economic order that is fair.

2. Wealthy countries should open up their markets to poor countries without conditionality.

Global
