OECD tutkii. Eriarvoisuus on paitsi väärin, myös taloudellisesti tehotonta. Otteita paperista. Tuloerojen kasvu Suomessa on vähentänyt potentiaalista BKTta 25 vuodessa 9%. Erityishuomio tulee asettaa alempaan keskiluokkaan ja vähentää heidän kustannuksiaan. Rising inequality by 3 Gini points, that is the average increase recorded in the OECD over the past two decades, would drag down economic growth by 0.35 percentage point per year for 25 years: a cumulated loss in GDP at the end of the period of 8.5 per cent.” “Rising inequality is estimated to have knocked more than 10 percentage points off growth in Mexico and New Zealand, nearly 9 points in the United Kingdom, Finland and Norway and between 6 and 7 points in the United States, Italy and Sweden.” “Biggest factor for the impact of inequality on growth is the gap between lower income households and the rest of the population. The negative effect is not just for the poorest income decile but all of those in the bottom four deciles of the income distribution. These findings imply that policy must not (just) be about tackling poverty, it also needs to be about addressing lower incomes more generally.” oecd.org/els/soc/Focus-Inequality-and-Growth-2014.pdf
