Social Watch 2001 emphasises the issue of wealth distribution. Eradication of poverty cannot be achieved in a context of outrageous disparities among and within nations. Social Watch coalitions in 47 countries track the evolution of indicators that measure poverty. The charts show how countries stand on key social indicators and how much progress they have made toward their goals. Two world maps indicate the extent of inequity by showing distribution of the world’s income.
