- Most countries have failed to grapple with inequality that worsened because of the pandemic, a new report by the nonprofit groups Oxfam and Development Finance International (DFI) found on Tuesday.
- Researchers tracked 161 countries for the report and found that half of low and lower middle income countries cut health spending during the pandemic, while half the countries cut social protection spending.
- South Korea and Senegal were among the countries that made significant improvement to fight inequality by improving spending in public services and spending more on social protections.
