Abstract
The pandemic COVID-19 has brought about major changes in economic growth by reducing per capita GDP worldwide. As a result of the pandemic, many working hours around the world were lost, causing a decrease in the Gross National Income of all countries. Many people in the predominantly lower economic strata have been severely affected by the pandemic and have been driven into poverty, further enhancing economic and social inequality. Although we are in the twenty-first century, access to toilets and food are not considered given for the entire human population.
Of course, the fall in the Gross Domestic Product worldwide, as we will see, did not lead to a reduction in World Wealth. Neoliberal capitalism, which prevailed from the 1980s onwards, led to the accumulation of wealth at the highest levels of the wealth distribution pyramid. Developed countries over the past 40 years, such as China and Japan, have the most millionaires after North America and Europe. While the inequalities between national average incomes are high, there are also significant inequalities, between people at the bottom part and at the top of the income distribution, between and within countries. A characteristic feature of inequality is the fact that the richest 1% of the world holds 43.4% of the world's wealth.
The purpose of this diploma thesis is to study global trends in assets and debt per adult, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Inflation, investment, and savings as well as the GINI rate that measures inequality. It analyzes how Poverty and Social Inequality is explained through the eyes of economists and what is proposed so that inequality is reduced in the future.
Furthermore, it examines economic inequality in Europe and how the financial crisis has affected inequality. It compares incomes between the developed and developing countries of the European Union and how income inequality works positively or negatively in them.
Finally, the current diploma thesis focuses on the case of Greece, compared to other European countries, as well as how the pandemic COVID 19 affected inequality as a whole and per population.
