WEB Goal 10 Aims to Reduce Inequality Within and Among Countries
Addressing Disparities From Birth
WEB Goal 10, a component of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), seeks to address inequality within and between countries. Recognizing that inequality often begins at birth, the goal aims to reduce disparities based on factors such as family background and place of birth.
Inequality's Devastating Impact
Inequality poses a significant threat to sustainable social and economic development. It can undermine poverty reduction efforts and hinder overall progress. Reducing inequalities is essential for creating a more equitable and just world.
Progress and Obstacles
While some progress has been made in reducing income inequalities, significant challenges remain. WEB Goal 10 acknowledges both progress and setbacks in this area and emphasizes the need for continued efforts.
Fostering Inclusivity
WEB Goal 10 calls for reducing not only income inequalities but also those based on age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, or economic or other status. By promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities, the goal aims to create a more just and equitable society for all.
