The lottery of life: Who gets which share of global income?
No matter where we live in the world, we all want to be healthy, to go to school, and to earn a decent living. But not everyone is born with the same opportunities. Find out from us what share of global income you earn and what chocolate can tell us about global inequality.
What country you are born in determines to a large extent what share of global income you get. Ghana is the second largest cocoa exporter, and Switzerland has the highest per capita consumption of chocolate globally. But while in Switzerland maternal mortality is now 7 per 100,000 live births, in Ghana, this number is 308 per 100,000 live births. Swiss people are deeply connected with farmers in Ghana, but we remain greatly separated. How does this inequality occur, is it increasing, and what can we do to address it?
NADEL’s learning activities focus on addressing inequality through global cooperation.
Our course participants and graduates are committed to fair trade, food security, poverty reduction, peace negotiations, the fight against life-threatening diseases, clean water, more sustainable consumption, and other global challenges.
It’s people bringing the world together.
Visit our booth to play the lottery of life, and test how much you know about global inequality. Do you know who gets which share of global income and the chocolate bar?
