Reduced inequality

Income inequality continues to rise in many parts of the world. The richest 1 percent (those with more than $1 million in assets) own 45 percent of the world's wealth; adults with less than $10,000 in wealth make up more than 60 percent of the world's population but hold less than 2 percent of its wealth.
