Oxfam is calling on governments to adopt a seven point plan to tackle inequality: • Clamp down on tax dodging by corporations and rich individuals. • Invest in universal, free public services such as health and education. • Share the tax burden fairly, shifting taxation from labour and consumption towards capital and wealth. • Introduce minimum wages and move towards a living wage for all workers. • Introduce equal pay legislation and promote economic policies to give women a fair deal. • Ensure adequate safety-nets for the poorest, including a minimum-income guarantee. • Agree a global goal to tackle inequality.
