170 Actions to Reduce Inequalities

Reducing poverty and improving equity
Jun 24, 2025 | United Nations - Perception Change Project

This booklet, part of the ‘170 Series’ launched by the UN’s Perception Change Project, gives 10 suggestions for each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The richest 10 percent have up to 40 percent of global income whereas the poorest 10 percent earn only between 2-7 percent. Women spend three times as many hours in unpaid domestic and care work as men. Current estimates indicate that 690 million people are hungry and around 1.6 billion children and youth are out of school. The report notes that more than ever, reducing inequalities is of utmost importance. While solutions rest with regional and national policymakers, collective and individual actions at the international level play a crucial role in reducing inequalities. https://sites.ungeneva.org
