This is actually disturbing, Just 22 men are said to be richer than 325 million women? I am sad.
Economic inequality is widening across the world and women in particular are feeling its effects as care work remains undervalued, according to a new report by anti-poverty charity Oxfam.
The world's 22 richest men, for instance, own more wealth than all 325 million women in Africa combined, Oxfam's Time to Care report showed.
Published in advance of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where world leaders will meet this week, Oxfam's report highlighted how women are "chronically undervalued" for unpaid care work, Sriskandarajah said.
Women risk being trapped in poverty with little time to get an education, earn a decent living or have a say in how society is run, Sriskandarajah added.
