The Richest 1% Are Getting Richer
1%的超級(jí)巨富越來越富
Oxfam, an anti-poverty charity, released a new report that confirms that the gap between the rich and the poor is getting worse. Based on current trends, the richest 1% of the world’s people, also known as the super rich, will have over 50% of the world’s wealth by 2016. Oxfam’s definition of an individual’s wealth is the value of one’s assets minus the total of one’s debts. Income was not included as a measure of one’s wealth for the purpose of this study. The average American in this exclusive group of the super rich had an average wealth of 2.7 million dollars in 2014. Oxfam says that protecting a nation’s natural wealth, such as oil, mineral and gas wealth, is one solution to reducing this economic gap.
對(duì)抗貧困基金會(huì)樂施會(huì)發(fā)布了最新報(bào)告,報(bào)告證實(shí)貧富差距問題正在日益嚴(yán)重。根據(jù)如今的發(fā)展趨勢(shì),世界之富占據(jù)了全球1%的人口,到2016年他們對(duì)財(cái)富的占有率將超過50%。樂施會(huì)對(duì)個(gè)人財(cái)富的定義為個(gè)人財(cái)富價(jià)值減去個(gè)人總債款。為了這項(xiàng)研究,人們并沒有將收入囊括在衡量個(gè)人財(cái)富之中。2014年,美國最富人群的平均財(cái)富為2700萬美金。樂施會(huì)稱保護(hù)例如像石油、礦產(chǎn)以及天然氣等自然財(cái)富是減輕貧富差距的手段之一。
