Rising inequalities among people

Inequalities in income distribution widened perceptibly during the last quarter of the twentieth century, following what had been a steady reduction in income disparities since the Second World War. This worsening of income inequality, which has persisted and now affects most countries, received considerable attention from the Forum. However, the Forum also focused on some notable gains in the realm of distributive justice, highlighting the progress made with regard to equality of rights, particularly in relation to the situation of women, and with regard to economic justice.
