Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Secretary Ángel Gurría said Tuesday that inequality between rich and poor is decreasing in Mexico, but it remains one of the world’s most unequal societies.
According to EFE news agency, Gurría said that in Mexico, the richest 10 percent earn 26 times more than the poorest 10 percent.
During the European Council Parliamentary Assembly meeting on OECD matters, he added that the average income difference in the OECD between the top 10 percent and bottom 10 percent is nine times.
“When there’s a crisis, differences are accentuated, workers’ salaries fall and the gap grows,” he said.
