What is Global Inequality?

https://kidsboostimmunity.com/
The world is not an equal place. Each person’s
experience is different with regards to human
rights, opportunities, and quality of life.
Some countries have more resources and
wealth than other countries.

Some countries have a peaceful, stable

government, and others don’t.

Some countries are naturally safe and some are

dangerous, with lots of earthquakes or
hurricanes.
Inequality can also exist within a single
country. Some people are richer than other
people. Some people live in areas with roads,
hospitals, schools, while others don’t.

Inequalities around the world can be linked

to many causes. This is why there are many
organisations that help populations in need.
For example, UNICEF tries to help children
around the world by providing resources in
education and also health.

Inequality does not only exist in our
community, in our society, in our country
but also among countries. There are
countries which are economically
matured and more powerful than other
countries and ends up to become
influential in the global community. This
leads to a condition of global inequality
where developing countries end up being
controlled and influenced by the
developed countries.
Inequality can also be an outcome of the
relative strength of a state as compared
with another in terms of strategic
importance or development assistance.
Countries with many resources tend to
have more power.
Countries that send official development
assistance (ODA) in the form of loans
and grants are in the position to dictate
their policy conditions.
Military strength is also a source of
inequality where countries with
superior military competence are
able to bully the weaker ones, just
in the issue of West Philippine Sea
between China and the Philippines.
Global inequality can also be
manifested through transnational
business corporations and
organizations that operate globally.
These private corporations have
enormous power to influence the
economy of the countries where they
have investments.
If the World Was 100 People

diploma.
60 people do not have an internet connection.
22 people do not have a home (a house, an apartment,
etc.) that protects them from wind and rain.
