It took just nine months for the top 1,000 billionaires' fortunes to return to the pre-pandemic highs. But for the world's poorest people, recovery could take 14 times longer, more than a decade. The increase in the 10 richest billionaires' wealth since the crisis began is more than enough to prevent anyone on earth from falling into poverty because of the virus and to pay for a COVID-19 vaccine for everyone. Globally, women are overrepresented in the sectors of the economy that are hardest hit by the pandemic. If women were represented at the same rate as men in those sectors, 112 million women would no longer be at high risk of losing their incomes or jobs. In the US, Latinx and Black people are more likely to die of COVID-19 than white people. If the death rate had been the same as white people since as of December 2020, close to 22,000 Latinx and Black people would still have been alive. Here are some of the other findings of the report. The coronavirus pandemic struck a world that is already deeply unequal, a world with over 3 billion people without access to healthcare, with three quarters of workers do not have access to social protection like unemployment, benefits or sick pay and in lower and lower middle income countries, over half of workers were in working poverty. The world's richest quickly recovered from the economic crisis created by the pandemic. Between 18th March through 31st December 2020, the wealth of billionaires worldwide increased by $3.9 trillion. The wealth of the world's 10 richest billionaires collectively increased by $540 billion over this period. In September 2020, Jeff Bezos could have paid all 876,000 Amazon employees a bonus worth $105,000 and still be as wealthy as he was before the pandemic. When commercial travel was banned, the sales of private jets soared worldwide. The picture on the other end is different. The report says that according to estimates, the total number of people living in poverty could have increased by between $200 million and $500 million in 2020. This number may not return to pre-pandemic levels for over a decade. The report surveyed economists from 79 countries, most of whom said income inequality in their country was going to increase as a result of the pandemic. A majority of them also felt that gender inequality and racial inequality will increase. The report calls for an end to neoliberal and austerity policies. It calls for policies to end inequality. It calls for universal public services. It calls for a people's vaccine which is openly accessible. It calls for income and job security and labour rights. It calls for a system of progressive taxation where the world's rich pay their fair share of taxes. It calls for climate safety systems. The report calls on governments to create a more equal and sustainable world with a more equal human economy.
