Oxfam’s Even It Up: The Rich and the Rest Film:


How fair is the world? How fair is the society you live in?

One way of thinking about how fair our societies are is by looking at ‘inequality’. Inequality is a way of measuring how equally a society shares things like money. So, for example, in a completely equal society everyone would have the same amount of money. In an unequal society some people would have much more money than others.

Of course no society is completely equal. But is inequality growing? And if inequality is growing, does it matter?
