Wealth Polarization
8
Growing economic and social inequality and divides are altering the make of societies and creating systemic vulnerabilities.
The gap between the ultra-wealthy and everyone else is growing larger by the day. Globalization, automation, and the rise of financial markets have concentrated wealth in fewer hands, hollowing out the traditional middle class and deepening poverty in many places. This inequality is creating instability, weakening trust in institutions, and exposing economies to greater risks.
From shrinking opportunities in the West to digital divides in developing regions, the economic landscape is becoming more polarized. Question is how and if key actors will act to address these divides to create more inclusive futures, better for all.
