Trends and patterns of inequality

The issue of global economic inequality and the underlying economic forces contributing to its evolution constitute one of the most controversial aspects of economic discourse in recent years. Until recently, economic indicators dominated much of the discussion about global inequality, reflecting the priority given to policies promoting economic growth as a panacea for development ills. Now, however, greater attention is being paid to the non-economic indicators of inequality. Similar to the shift that has taken place in the debate on poverty, the debate on inequality has come to reflect a broader conceptualization of the subject in which the focus is not exclusively on measurable economic indicators.
