Presentation prepared by RICH AND POOR IN THE WORLD

Social inequality has always been a headache for politicians, economist and experts of all countries of the world.

Every year at least 40 million innocent men, women and children ruthlessly perish on this planet from hunger, starvation, disease and malnutrition.

Gini coefficient The Gini coefficient (also known as the Gini index or Gini ratio) is a measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income distribution of a nation's residents, and is the most commonly used measure of inequality.

At least 80% of humanity lives on less than 10$ a day.

In the past 50 years poverty has fallen more than in the previous 500 years. Since 1960 child-death rates have been halved and malnutrition has declined by a third.

In 2011 the EU provides assistance to poorest countries in the world totaling 53 billion euros. The G8 annually invest millions in agriculture, manufacturing, education and healthcare of developing countries.

The worlds seven richest men could wipe out poverty. Their combined wealth is more than enough to provide the basic needs of poorest quarter of worlds population.

Rich people should to be more involved in charity. Donor countries should not cut aid to poor countries, despite the global economic downturn.
