Terms that is related to social inequality

Social Inequality- uneven opportunities and rewards for a diverse
social positions or statuses within a group or society. This occurs when
resources in a given society are distributed unevenly, generally through

defined categories of persons.
Economic inequality- described on the basis of the unequal
distribution of income or wealth, in the most frequently studied type of
social inequality.
Gender inequality- sex and gender based prejudice and
discrimination or sexual division of labor. The emphasis on gender
inequality is born out of the deepening division in the roles assigned to men
and women, particularly in the economic, political and educational spheres.
Racial and Ethnic Inequality- is the consequence of hierarchical
social distinctions between racial and ethnic categories within a society and
are often recognized based on characteristics such as skin color and other
physical characteristics or an individual’s place of origin or culture.

Global Inequality
Global Inequality (relationships between states and non-state actors
in the global community)- the financial systems of the world have developed
unevenly, historically, such that the entire geographical regions were left
stalled in poverty and illness. This was represented by a type of North-South
divide that existed after World War II among the First World, more
developed, industrialized, wealthy countries and Third world countries,
primarily as measured by GDP. From around 1980, on the other hand, all
the way through at least 2011, the GDP gap, while still wide, appeared to
the final and, in some more rapidly developing countries, life expectances
began to increase. There are frequent restrictions, though, of GDP as an
economic indicator of social “well-being”

Ways to Reduce Global Inequalities

Extreme economic inequality is corrosive to our societies. It makes

poverty reduction harder, hurts our economies, and drives conflict and
violence. Reversing this trend presents a significant challenge, but one
where we’ve seen some progress. Below we offer eight ways to move the
world forward in reducing global inequality.

1. Stop Illicit Outflows

In developing countries, inadequate resourcing for health, education,

sanitation, and investment in the poorest citizens drives extreme inequality.
One reason is tax avoidance and other illicit outflows of cash. According
to Global Financial Integrity, developing countries lost $6.6 trillion in illicit
financial flows from 2003 through 2012, with illicit outflows increasing at an
average rate of 9.4 percent per year. That’s $6.6 trillion that could reduce
poverty and inequality through investments in human capital,
infrastructure, and economic growth.

12
2. Progressive Income Tax

After falling for much of the 20 th century, inequality is worsening in

rich countries today. The top one percent is not only capturing larger shares
of national income, but tax rates on the highest incomes have also dropped.
How much should the highest income earners be taxed? This is obviously a
question to be decided domestically by citizens, and opinions differ. For
instance, economist Tony Addison suggests a top rate of 65 percent rate on
the top 1 percent of incomes.

3. A Global Wealth Tax?

In Capital in the Twenty-first Century , Thomas Piketty recommends

an international agreement establishing a wealth tax. Under his plan,
countries would agree to tax personal assets of all kinds at graduated rates.
The sceptics do have a point about whether this particular plan is practical,
but we shouldn’t give up on the idea. Because wealth tends to accumulate
over generations, fair and well-designed wealth taxes would go a long way
towards combating extreme inequality.

4. Enforce a Living Wage

Governments should establish and enforce a national living wage, and

corporations should also prioritize a living wage for their workers and with
the suppliers, buyers, and others with whom they do business. Low and
unliveable wages are a result of worker disempowerment and concentration
of wealth at the top—hallmarks of unequal societies. As human beings with
basic needs, all workers should earn enough to support themselves and
their families. Governments and corporations should be responsible for
protecting the right to a living wage, corporations should commit to
responsible behaviour that respects the dignity of all workers.

5. Workers’ Right to Organize

The right of workers to organize has always been a cornerstone of

more equal societies, and should be prioritized and protected wherever this
basic right is violated. Extreme inequality requires the disempowerment of
workers. Therefore, the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively
for better pay and conditions is a global human rights priority. Despite
Article 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights— which declares
the right to organize as a fundamental human right—workers worldwide,
including in the United States, still face intimidation, fear, and retribution
for attempting to organize collectively. Where unions are strong, wages are
higher and inequality is lower.

6. Stop Other Labor Abuses

Companies worldwide are also replacing what was once permanent

and stable employment with temporary and contingent labor. Often called

13
“contingent” or “precarious” workers, these workers fill a labor need that is
permanent while being denied the status of employment. In the United
States, this trend is called “misclassification,” in which employers
misclassify workers as “independent contractors” when they are actually
employees. Contingent labor also occurs through outsourcing,
subcontracting, and use of employment agencies.

7. Open and Democratic Trade Policy

Negotiating international trade agreements behind closed doors with

only bureaucrats and corporate lobbyists present has to end. These old-style
trade agreements are fundamentally undemocratic and put corporate profits
above workers, the environment, health, and the public interest. We need a
new, transparent trade policy that is open, transparent, and accountable to
the people.

8. A New Economics?

Economists are often imagined as stuffy academics who value arcane

economic theory above humanitarian values. The field’s clinging to
parsimonious theories gave us such winners as the Washington Consensus
and a global financial system that imploded in 2008. Thankfully, there’s a
movement among economics grad students and scholars to reimagine the
discipline. As they acknowledge, we clearly need a new economics that
works to improve the lives of everyone, not just those already well off. For
instance, what could be more radical than a Buddhist economics? This is
the path promoted by economist and Rhodes Scholar E .F. Schumacher,
who says humanity needs an economics that creates wealth for all people,
just not money for privileged people and corporations. Economics should
take into account ethics and the environment, and treat its claims less like
invariable truths..

 Eric van der Weele, Superintendent (2018-present)

The guiding principle to solving problems basically is to know the problem to

the detail. So, to solve the problems in the Philippines, I’d have to ask which
problem tops the most. And from there, we can think of solutions.

Given that, I think that is one of the problems we have. We have so much of
it - problems - that in our day to day lives, with our need to survive the day, we just
deal with our issues/problems by the day, come what may, hoping that we wake up
to another, but better, day.

But problems will always be there, be it individual or social, be it

personal or shared. The most we can do, given our context in the
Philippines, and with what we have as a people, is our resilience. By that,
one by one, if we name our problems and address it as a people - with
resilience - no matter what, we can deal with the whiles of life, day in and
day out.

There’s no running away from problems really. It is a constant and,

ideally, it should, as a social fact, keep us from developing, from innovating,
making us better and better every time. :)

Originally Answered: What is the solution to at least minimize problems in

the Philippines today?
I wish you have been more specific on what you mean by the “problems” in
the Philippines. What comes into my mind is poverty which causes other
issues like drugs, crimes and corruption.

The best solution would be education.

Much of the Filipinos who voted for the politicians in the Philippine
government are uneducated, thus they make bad decisions when voting
government officials. Since they are uneducated they have menial jobs and
no money so most of the time would accept electoral bribery. Being poor
they would usually turn to crime and drugs.

 What I Have Learned

I learned that:
 Addressing inequality is not only a responsibility but also an
opportunity. The function of business cannot be overstated to impel
towards greater equality. Data from Pew show that people tend to believe
governments are responsible for the wealth gap, but governments cannot
solve the problem on their own. Addressing inequality is good for
business as it creates a demographic of consumers thus widening the
market for profits and services and increasing profit opportunities,
especially for women. Efforts to reduce inequalities and achieve inclusion
are a multi stakeholder responsibility which will require concerted action
at all levels, from local to national and regional to global.
