Design for Change
Summary: The goal aims to address various forms of inequality within and among countries, focusing on income inequality, social disparities, discrimination, and exclusion, with the overarching aim of creating more inclusive societies.
Income equality: This target seeks to promote income growth for the bottom 40% of the population at a rate that surpasses the national average. It emphasizes that economic growth should benefit all segments of society, especially those with lower incomes.
Social, Economic, and Political Inclusion: This target emphasizes the importance of ensuring that all individuals, regardless of age, gender, disability, ethnicity, or economic status, are socially, economically, and politically included. It aims to eliminate discriminatory practices and create an environment where everyone has a fair chance to participate and benefit.
Representation and Voice in Global Decision-Making: This target underscores the need for fair representation of developing countries in global financial and economic decision-making institutions. It aims to make these institutions more accountable and effective.
