Hello all!!! How is the prep for Verbal Ability going on? 😃
Complete the Paragraph
Globalisation has made the planet more equal. As communication gets cheaper and transport gets faster, developing countries have closed the gap with their rich-world counterparts. But within many developing economies, the story is less rosy: inequality has worsened. The Gini index is one measure of inequality, based on a score between zero and one. A Gini index of one means a country’s entire income goes to one person; a score of zero means the spoils are equally divided. Sub-Saharan Africa saw its Gini index rise by 9% between 1993 and 2008. China’s score soared by 34% over twenty years. Only in a few places has it fallen.
- Does globalisation have anything to do with it?
- Other economic theories try to explain why inequality in developing countries has reached such heights.
- Basic theory predicts that inequality falls when developing countries enter global markets.
- But the high inequality seen today in poor countries is prompting new theories
