Article Summary
In a January,2017 report,the World Economic Forum stated that the growing income gap has become one of the biggest threats to the global economy and cannot be remedied solely by higher economic growth.Although income inequality has fallen over the past 30 years on a global level,in high-income countries like the United States and the United Kingdom,the top 1% of income earners have benefitted disproportionately from economic growth.This has led a growing belief that the traditional model for economic growth does not result in a population-wide increase in income.According to the report,"The growing mood of anti-establishment populism suggests we may have passed the stage where [reviving economic growth] alone would remedy fractures in society: reforming market capitalism must also be added to the agenda."
