This week I share Nature's editorial on the 10th Sustainable Development Goal: Reducing inequalities. A brief excerpt: The world is not meeting SDG 10.

From 2004 to 2019, global GDP almost doubled, but the economic share earned by workers producing the goods and services behind the increase in GDP fell from 54.1% in 2004 to 52.6% in 2019.

In The Spirit Level, epidemiologists Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett showed that reducing inequality has a cascade of benefits, from better health to lower crime rates and better educational outcomes.
