New global middle class,
particularly in China and India.
In 2008 earning median
income would put the average
Chinese in the top half of the
global income distribution

The horizontal axis
divides the incomes of
the world into
percentiles
We now live in a world
with a bulge around the
median with significantly
rising incomes for the
entire second third (or
more) of the global
income distribution.
That is the new aspiring
global middle class.
We also see growing
wealth and probably
power of those at the
very top and,
remarkably, stagnant
incomes for both the
people just below the
“enchanted” richest 1 or
5 per cent, and those
poorest in the world.

Bank, 2013

A Global Perspective
Professor Angus Deaton
Inequality is a knotty subject. There
is little agreement on what ought to
be equal. Should it be a measurable
outcome such as income or wealth;
a hazier outcome such as power or
freedom; or a vague aspiration such
as “equality of opportunity”?
It is often said that the world is
becoming more unequal. But it is
less than clear what is meant by
that. Income inequality between
countries has grown over the past
three centuries but it may now be
narrowing between the world’s
people as a whole. (FT 11-10-13)

Branko Milanovic, World Bank
economist and expert on
trends in global inequality

“Half of one’s income depends on the average income
of the country in which that person was born.”
“8% of humanity takes home 50% of global income;
the top 1% alone takes home 15%.”
Some countries have made
progress

Inequality in developing countries
Economic Effects of Rising Inequality
Social unrest and civil disobedience
• Strikes and demonstrations over poor pay
and conditions at Fox con in China which
produces IPhones and IPads

Self-perpetuating poverty cycle

• Limited access to health care and education
• Volatile incomes, high debts
• Low savings

Misallocation of scarce resources
Capital investment skewed towards
preferences of the rich
Low collateral – limits entrepreneurship

Capital flight by the rich
Hon Hai Precision Industry
The company started in
the 1980s in Shenzhen,
near Hong Kong
Now Fox Conn has half a
million workers at inland
factories and half a million
at factories on China’s
eastern coast including
Shenzhen.

Inequality Reduction Strategies
Human Capital Investment

• Improving the quality of teaching

Inclusive Growth Policies
• Raising incomes for people
• Conditional cash transfers as welfare

Micro-Finance
• Small scale loans, gender empowerment
• Micro-insurance to help poorest farmers

Micro-Finance
Economic growth by itself is only weakly correlated with poverty reduction.
Ravallion (2004) found that a 1% increase in per capita incomes can reduce income

poverty by as much as 4% or by less than 1%, depending on the country as well as
• Micro-insurance to help poorest well as the

Shared Prosperity
Shared prosperity is defined as “fostering income growth of the bottom
40 per cent of the population in every country” (World Bank, 2013).
Poverty Reduction Strategies

“There is probably no silver bullet,
one needs to learn from
experience what has worked and
what has not worked, and what
problem what solutions can and
cannot fix.”
Esther Duflo, author of Poor
Economics
Cost of Inducing Extra Education
De-worming and
poverty reduction
One billion people in
the world are
infected with worms;
yet there is cheap,
easy mass treatment
This provides a cheap
way of achieving an
extra year of
education especially
in primary schools
Addressing rural poverty is key

Stiglitz on Inequality
I see us entering a world divided not just
between the haves and have-nots, but also
between those countries that do nothing about
it, and those that do. Some countries will be
successful in creating shared prosperity — the
only kind of prosperity that I believe is truly
sustainable. Others will let inequality run amok.
In these divided societies, the rich will hunker in
gated communities, almost completely
separated from the poor, whose lives will be
almost unfathomable to them, and vice versa.
I’ve visited societies that seem to have chosen
this path. They are not places in which most of
us would want to live, whether in their cloistered
enclaves or their desperate shantytowns.

  • 10. We now live in a world with a bulge around the median with significantly rising incomes for the entire second third (or more) of the global income distribution. That is the new aspiring global middle class. We also see growing wealth and probably power of those at the very top and, remarkably, stagnant incomes for both the people just below the “enchanted” richest 1 or 5 per cent, and those poorest in the world. Source: Milosevic, World Bank, 2013 A Global Perspective
  • 11. Professor Angus Deaton Inequality is a knotty subject. There is little agreement on what ought to be equal. Should it be a measurable outcome such as income or wealth; a hazier outcome such as power or freedom; or a vague aspiration such as “equality of opportunity”? It is often said that the world is becoming more unequal. But it is less than clear what is meant by that. Income inequality between countries has grown over the past three centuries but it may now be narrowing between the world’s people as a whole. (FT 11-10-13)

  • 20. Branko Milanovic, World Bank economist and expert on trends in global inequality “Half of one’s income depends on the average income of the country in which that person was born.” “8% of humanity takes home 50% of global income; the top 1% alone takes home 15%.”
  • 21. Some countries have made progress The richest 300 people on earth have more wealth than the poorest 3bn - almost half the world's population

Economic Effects of Rising Inequality Social unrest and civil disobedience • Strikes and demonstrations over poor pay and conditions at Fox con in China which produces IPhones and IPads Self-perpetuating poverty cycle • Limited access to health care and education • Volatile incomes, high debts • Low savings Misallocation of scarce resources Capital investment skewed towards preferences of the rich Low collateral – limits entrepreneurship Capital flight by the rich

  • 37. Cost of Inducing Extra Education De-worming and poverty reduction One billion people in the world are infected with worms; yet there is cheap, easy mass treatment This provides a cheap way of achieving an extra year of education especially in primary schools
  • 38. Addressing rural poverty is key Source: http://siteresources.worldbank.org/EXTPREMNET/Resources/EP125.pdf
  • 39. Stiglitz on Inequality I see us entering a world divided not just between the haves and have-nots, but also between those countries that do nothing about it, and those that do. Some countries will be successful in creating shared prosperity — the only kind of prosperity that I believe is truly sustainable. Others will let inequality run amok. In these divided societies, the rich will hunker in gated communities, almost completely separated from the poor, whose lives will be almost unfathomable to them, and vice versa. I’ve visited societies that seem to have chosen this path. They are not places in which most of us would want to live, whether in their cloistered enclaves or their desperate shantytowns. http://opinionator.blogs. nytimes.com/2013/10/1 3/inequality-is-a-choice/
