    • Outcomes: big opportunities for tech-driven and skilled workers, but less for low-skilled workers
    • Tension in society due to inequality, with the government tasked with redistribution
    • Digitalization and industrialization have decreased poverty, but it is increasing again, especially due to COVID-19
    • Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest poverty level, while East Asia has significantly lower levels
    • Unemployment percentages are similar across continents, but poverty is about having a decent job
    • Inequalities have diminished over time, but GDP per capita differences between high-income and low-income countries have increased
    • Housing, unemployment, labor market, and family benefits have increased in many countries post-war, but the first 40% in many high-income countries have very little means
    • Poor people are more impacted by natural disasters and emerging markets are exposed to recent crises, leading to an increase in poverty
    • Agriculture is a key driver of poverty impact, and global warming could worsen health and productivity
    • Climate change has a non-linear impact on economic inequality, with hot countries suffering more
    • COVID-19 has had a large negative effect on GDP, leading to long-term impacts on debt, unemployment, household income, and health
