Agenda

Living standards between countries living in the same society have to be separated. Thus, there is inequality between countries (international inequalities), inequality within countries between households and between men and women (internal inequalities) and those that combine the inequalities between countries and between households (global inequalities).

Beyond purely geopolitical considerations, there is a global awareness of inequalities. Public opinion consider more that globalization is mainly responsible for the rise in inequality, mainly those relating to income within each country. The available data do they reinforce this vision of a concentration of wealth taking place at the expense of social justice? Can we draw a path of long-term inequality in a globalized world? What will happen to the ability of developing countries to develop equal opportunities, promote appropriate governance and promote income redistribution? What is the poorest country?

Of inequality are multidimensional phenomena. Inequalities between men and women are therefore subject to enhanced focus on the grounds that their reduction is an essential lever for development that are in developing countries and in developed countries.

However, studies show that from a certain level, inequality can harm contrary to the dynamism of an economy. They then cause a decrease in consumption and predatory talents, crystallizing the social and political unrest. What weapons developed countries, which have already mobilized to varying degrees the tools of redistribution, they now have to reverse this process? Through the G20, a major offensive against tax havens was announced, involving cooperation of a new genre, initiated by the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. In a globalized world where the fiscal autonomy of a country is considered to be more limited, what room for maneuver?
