High inequalities strike many people as intrinsically unfair. But ethical concerns are not the only reasons to care about equity. High levels of inequalities in different dimensions make it harder to reduce poverty and can also be associated with a greater prevalence of crime and violence and, in some cases, broader social conflicts. In turn, this poisons the climate for investment and reduces the capacity of governments to deliver public goods and basic services. This year's report describes current levels of and recent trends in inequalities both within and across countries; discusses whether such inequalities matter and, if so, how it may be possible to reduce them in ways which, rather than harming economic efficiency and growth, may indeed help promote them; and explores the role of domestic policies and international forces, and the potential for international action to reduce inequalities.
