One way globalisation can increase inequality is through the effects of increasing specialisation and trade. A rise in trade-to-GDP ratios signifies an increase in the volume and value of trade between countries and regions. Although trade based on comparative advantage has the potential to stimulate economic growth and lift per capita incomes, it ...
However, one could argue that the benefits of globalisation can be used to offset this. If trade generates faster GDP growth, then the government will see an increase in tax revenues which might then be used to fund capital investment in public goods and merit goods and services including finance for re-training programmes and improvements to infra...
Globalisation might also increase inequality because it usually leads to higher profits for multinational corporations such as Apple, Google and Facebook which feed into generous pay-outs for senior executives and increasing dividends for shareholders. Multinationals matter - they generate 10 percent of the world’s annual GDP and more than 50 perce...
A third way in which globalisation can create increased inequality is by increasing the demand for and returns to higher-skilled work and lowering the expected earnings of people in relatively low-skill and low-knowledge occupations. One of the driving forces of foreign direct investment is that resources tend to flow where the unit cost of product...
In conclusion, it is not inevitable that globalisation increases inequality of income and wealth. We have seen big changes in the workforce and in earnings between different groups but in my view, these are not solely the consequence of globalisation. One paradox of globalisation is that it has probably reduced inequality between countries but incr...
At the global level, said wealth inequality is increasing at an unprecedented scale. The top 1% own more than the bottom 99% according to a new study from Oxfam. The study also found that this is upheld through three principles: monopolies, cronyism, and inheritance. These monopolies inflict suffering on the economy and consumers through high ...
This essay begins with an overview of what these books tell us about the trends in global inequality. It then critically examines what they say about the causative factors and pol-icy responses. Finally, comments are offered on some broader concerns, applicable to much of the literature on global inequality. 2.
Fourth, all effects considered, more globalization has meant less world inequality. Fifth, world incomes would still be unequal under a scenario of complete global integration, just as they are in any large integrated national economy, such as those of the United States or Japan. But, they would be less unequal in such an economy than they ...
Because it may seem counterintuitive that subnational inequality would grow in an era of globalization, this finding points to the importance of research on scale differences in inequality patterns, and on the spatial impacts of specific aspects of economic globalization, so that we can better understand how globalizing processes influence inequality—where and for whom (Kanbur and Venables ...
