Extreme Economic Inequalities and Sustainable Development The Trajectory of Indian Economic Growth
Avanesh Kumar Singh
Abstract :
Inequality is a central obstacle to the transition to sustainable development that “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” and to development that balances economic, social and environmental concerns. The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks survey has found ‘severe income disparity’ to be one of the top global risks for the coming decade. A growing body of evidence has also demonstrated that economic inequality is associated with a range of environmental problem and ecological carrying capacity of the area. This is true across rich and poor countries alike, and has negative consequences for the richest as well as the poorest people.Around the world, inequality is making a mockery of the hopes and ambitions of billions of the poorest people. Without policy interventions in the interests of the many, this cascade of privilege and disadvantage will continue for generations.In the present work, extent of economic equality has been enquired with special reference to India and policies to reduce have been discussed.
