global inequality  

Definición

  • After decades of self-conscious development and market liberalization, the average income for the global South in the early 2000s was only around 15% of that of the global North in purchasing power parity terms and more like 5% in foreign exchange rate terms (see Figure 1). Also, growth in the South has been typically much more erratic than in the North, with periods of relatively fast growth followed by deeper and longer recessions.
