The Global Goals: 10. Reduced Inequality


Goal 10 wants to reduce inequality within and among countries.

The quote below says that 'all men are created equal', and that goes for every person on the planet. Everyone should be given the same chances and opportunities, and this furthers when it comes to job titles, promotions, pay, and so on.
 
 
The targets for this goal listed by the United Nations are:
  • Achieve and sustain income growth of the bottom 40 per cent of the population at a rate higher than the national average
  • Empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status
  • Ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities of outcome, including through eliminating discriminatory laws, policies and practices and promoting appropriate legislation, policies and actions in this regard
  • Adopt fiscal, wage, and social protection policies to progressively achieve greater equality
  • Improve regulation and monitoring of global financial markets and institutions and strengthen implementation of such regulations
  • Ensure enhanced representation of developing countries in decision making in global international economic and financial institutions to deliver more effective, credible, accountable and legitimate institutions
  • Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people
  • Implement the principle of special and differential treatment for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, in accordance with WTO agreements
  • Encourage Official Development Assistance and financial flows to states where the need is greatest
  • Reduce to less than 3 per cent the transaction costs of migrant remittances and eliminate remittance corridors with costs higher than 5 per cent

 
This should be a goal that everyone supports, because everyone wants to be treated well, so why don't we all deserves that chance to have the same treatment?
