SDG Target #10.2

SDG #10 is to “Reduce inequality within and among countries.”

Within SDG #10 are 10 targets, of which we here focus on Target 10.2:

By 2030, empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status

Target 10.2 has one indicator:

  • Indicator 10.2.1: Proportion of people living below 50 per cent of median income, by sex, age and persons with disabilities

A quarter of the global population live below half the median income, unchanged since 2015. This proportion is equal to the worst performers for this measure across countries, on par with Honduras, which had the same share.
