The income of someone in the world’s richest region is on average about 13x higher than someone in the poorest.
But the corresponding figure for education spending (per child) reveals an even starker 40:1 ratio, writes @ricardo-eco.bsky.social of @wid.world

Incomes vary greatly around the world. But education spending varies even more: our best tool for narrowing the income gap is even more unequally distributed

Looking at domestic & economic labour together, women work more but earn 43% less than men, on average – much greater than usual estimates of the gender pay gap

Today we are launching the Global Justice Project.
This is the result of two years of research involving more than 40 contributors from around the world.
We propose a path to €5,000-a-month average incomes for all countries within +1.8°C of warming.
