Over the past three decades, income disparities have risen to unprecedented levels, with the richest 10% in the OECD area earning almost ten times more than the poorest 10% (OECD, 2015a). People who are economically disadvantaged often also fall behind in other non-income dimensions of well-being, including in terms of educational attainment and health status. Such inequalities not only significantly affect the well-being of the most vulnerable segments of the population, but also undermine countries’ economic performance, as disadvantaged groups have fewer resources to invest in skills and education and therefore contribute less to than possible. Other policy areas such as education, social and labour market policies, competition and tax policies have traditionally played a stronger role in fostering more inclusive societies.
