SDG 10: REDUCED INEQUALITIES
The existence of this target/inequality was agreed because globally it was only quite high, not only in developing countries but also in developed countries. In addition, understanding between countries is also felt and this issue is assessed as a problem between countries that needs to be resolved globally. Considering that the poorest 40% of the population is the target to be targeted, considering that this group is the poorest group and their welfare is vulnerable to the impact of change. In addition, the reduction is also carried out by empowering and increasing the social, economic and political inclusiveness of the community in various age groups, gender, disability, race, ethnicity, region of origin and religion. Social policies are also suggested by countries to implement progressive policies. Global steps to overcome this include ensuring the representation and voice of developing countries in decision making in global economic and financial institutions.
Furthermore, globally, migration is also recognized as a way to improve welfare, so that measures to facilitate migration and include transaction fees for remittances are also targeted for improvement.
