摘要:The aim of this research paper is to unlock the debate on inequality. It has been analysed by the economists that global inequality has been on rise in modern times, and inequality has increased within the states as well as between the states. This research paper highlights the concept of global inequality and its different dimensions and factors that result in causing inequality, how global inequality can be measured using different tools i.e., Gini Index and the trends in global inequality since 1960. Methodologically this paper will rely on the quantitative as well as qualitative data collected from secondary sources, and reports of international institutions, and different datasets collected since 1820. The reason for choosing this topic is based on the fact that global inequality is the most important socio-economic problem that economists and development practitioners are confronting in contemporary times. Understanding this problem is very important from policy perspectives. Besides that, this research can also give a thorough overview about the global inequality to other researchers and academicians.
