Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>As the gap between the rich and poor around the globe is spiraling out of control, it is affecting the lives of hundreds of millions of people who are being pushed into extreme poverty.<\/p>\n

In the last two and a half decades, there had been a steady decline in extreme poverty, but progress \u201chas now ground to a halt,\u201d according to an expert.<\/p>\n

Government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in poorer countries \u201chave undermined hard-won gains in the fight against poverty,\u201d Anthony Kamande, Oxfam\u2019s global inequality research coordinator, told Anadolu.<\/p>\n

For the first time in 25 years, extreme wealth and extreme poverty \u201chave sharply increased simultaneously,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The pandemic pushed 90 million people into extreme poverty in 2020, an increase of 12% compared to 2019, said the researcher.<\/p>\n

In 2022, nearly 670 million people were estimated to be living in extreme poverty, out of which over 410 million are in Sub-Saharan Africa alone, said Kamande.<\/p>\n

He estimated that those inflicted by poverty live on \u201cless than $2.15 per day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result of this is that we are experiencing preventable deaths and massive suffering, hunger is on the rise, human development is declining, and we are far off from achieving the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), including one on ending extreme hunger by 2030,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

While the wealthiest people and companies continue to thrive, recent crises have caused \u201chuge setbacks in the fight against poverty,\u201d said Kamande.\u201cPeople are losing jobs in droves, wages are on the decline, the quality of jobs is deteriorating and governments, especially in poorer countries, are facing a fiscal squeeze, all of which are threatening the lives and livelihoods of the world\u2019s poorest people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Oxfam warned that on top of the economic crisis caused by COVID-19, skyrocketing food prices and energy costs caused by the war in Ukraine could push a quarter of a billion more people into extreme poverty.<\/p>\n

It called for urgent international action, including canceling debt repayments for poorer countries.<\/p>\n

Oxfam\u2019s international executive director, Gabriela Bucher, also called for immediate radical action, as without it, \u201cwe could be witnessing the most profound collapse of humanity into extreme poverty and suffering in memory.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018The winner takes it all\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe winner-takes-it-all economic model\u201d is massively rewarding for the already rich people, he said, adding wealth is increasingly being transferred from the poor to the rich.<\/p>\n

Since 2020, the richest 1% have captured almost two-thirds of all new wealth, which is nearly twice as much money as the bottom 99% of the world\u2019s population, according to Kamande.<\/p>\n

He estimated that billionaire fortunes are increasing by $2.7 billion a day, even as inflation outpaces the wages of \u201cat least 1.7 billion workers.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2022, food and energy companies more than doubled their profits, paying out $257 billion to wealthy shareholders, \u201cwhile over 800 million people went to bed hungry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, it is clear that the world cannot continue on this trajectory,\u201d added Kamande.<\/p>\n

\u2018Unfair\u2019 tax system<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe trickle-down neoliberal economic model\u201d is continuing to \u201ctrick\u201d millions into poverty, he argued.<\/p>\n

Oxfam urged that the wealthiest individuals and companies that profit from COVID-19 and the Ukraine war crisis must pay more taxes.<\/p>\n

The charity also called on the Group of 20 to assign $100 billion of an existing austerity fund for poor countries to shield the poorest from inflation through subsidies and cutting taxes on goods and services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rich are increasingly benefitting from a massive tax cut, but the poor are being saddled with myriads of indirect taxes, including sales taxes such as the value added to the tax,\u201d said Kamande.<\/p>\n

Lack of investment in deprived sectors continues to hamper poverty eradication as hundreds of millions of people \u201ccannot get even the most basic of healthcare services\u201d or quality education that has become \u201ca preserve of the rich,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cTied to the neoliberal economic policies is the issue of market liberalization that has impacted poor people in poorer countries negatively,\u201d Kamande said.<\/p>\n

Making the rich pay their \u201cfair share of taxes\u201d would go a long way in raising resources for tackling poverty and inequality.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, a progressive annual wealth tax at 2%, 3%, and 5% on the world\u2019s multi-millionaires and billionaires would raise $1.7 trillion annually.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would be enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty. In addition, it could fill the funding gap for emergency UN humanitarian appeals and fund a global plan to end hunger,\u201d Kamande said.<\/p>\n

He further said that governments should strengthen deprived sectors such as health care, education, social protection, and small-holder farming.<\/p>\n

Rich countries should provide financing for climate mitigation and adaptation to poorer countries, he added.<\/p>\n

As nations are falling into bankruptcy, debt payments \u201care ballooning out of control.\u201d<\/p>\n

About 60% of low-income countries are at a high level of debt distress, according to Kamande.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unsustainable if we are to end poverty and suffering,\u201d and that is why these countries urgently need \u201cdebt cancellation and restructuring to free up resources that could be spent to help struggling citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Catastrophic consequences\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Kamande warned that failure to act could have \u201ccatastrophic consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n

If governments do not take immediate action, the world will continue to see a massive transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor, while poverty, hunger, and suffering will increase dramatically, he said.<\/p>\n

As climate change takes a heavy toll, \u201cour planet will face an existential threat\u201d if no action is taken, he said, adding that the \u201cfragile\u201d democracies and politics will also be at risk of elite capture, while conflicts will be exacerbated as communities and groups fight each other to access scarce resources.<\/p>\n

Corruption and theft of public resources \u201cwill be normalized,\u201d and as a consequence, the world is likely to experience \u201cmore preventable deaths such as maternal deaths,\u201d Kamande argued.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven the slightest shock will leave behind a toll of destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n
