Time to even it up!

In January 2014, an Oxfam report put the spotlight on the staggering inequality of wealth – the richest 85 people in the world possess the same amount of wealth as the world’s poorest 50 per cent.

The report, detailing that the collective wealth of a tiny global elite has increased by US$668 million per day between 2013 and 2014, caught the public’s imagination. In a response to this alarming increase of inequality Oxfam has launched a new campaign, Even it Up. The aim of the campaign is to show that inequality is not inevitable but a result of policy choices.
