乐施会：贫富不均现象日益严重

The richest 1 percent of people in the world will have a majority of the wealth on the planet next year, according to development nonprofit Oxfam.

The most-affluent’s share of global wealth climbed to 48 percent in 2014, compared with 44 percent in 2009, and will likely pass 50 percent in 2016.

The report was released Monday ahead of the annual World Economic Forum meeting this week in Davos, Switzerland.

Oxfam warned that the \'"explosion in inequality"\' is holding back the fight against global poverty at a time when one in nine people do not have enough to eat and more than a billion people still live on less than $1.25 a day.

In order to curb extreme inequality, Oxfam is calling upon states to tackle tax evasion, improve public services, tax capital rather than labor, and introduce living minimum wages, among other measures.

2014年，最富有的这部分人拥有全球48%的财富，2009年的比例是44%，2016年则将超过50%。

这份报告于星期一发表，世界经济论坛年度会议本周将在瑞士城市达沃斯召开。

乐施会警告说，不平等的急剧增长阻碍了消除全球贫穷现象的努力。目前世界上每9个人里就有一个人吃不饱，10亿多人每天的生活费不到1.25美元。

为了遏制极端的不平等现象，乐施会敦促各国打击逃税行为、改善公共服务、对资本而不是对劳动课税以及规定最低工资标准。
