Inequality and
Poverty: the Condition and Ways of Decrease in Scales
The article
considers the present mechanisms for formation and redistribution of
the
population incomes and deformation of these mechanisms connected with
their
adjustment in favor of the rich that is the main impediment to solution
of the
problem of poverty and reduction of inequality. It shows that the
extent of
poverty cannot be radically reduced within a short time without
reduction of
the extent of inequality, and lack of a well-considered system of
leveling up
incomes and property status of different groups of the population
results and
will subsequently result in growth of the gap between the richest and
the
poorest strata of the population. There are given model estimates
demonstrating
the differences and presenting assessment of the changes needed for
bringing
the distributive mechanisms into the line of the «world» standards.
