GOAL 10
REDUCED INEQUALITY
Reduce inequality within and among countries
The Goal
ABOUT THIS GOAL
The world’s richest one percent own more wealth than the bottom fifty percent combined. That imbalance is not a natural feature of the economy — it is the result of choices: tax systems that favour capital over labour, legal systems that protect the connected, trade rules that work for the powerful. SDG 10 calls for change at every level — higher incomes for the poorest, fairer policies, better regulation of global markets, and safer migration pathways. It recognises that inequality is not just unfair. It is destabilising.
