    Global inequality exists between countries in terms of income, wealth, and living standards. About 15% of the world's population lives in high-income countries with average incomes over $50,000 per year, while 40% live in low-income countries with average incomes under $1,800 per year. Sociological perspectives like world systems theory and dependency theory argue that unequal relationships between core industrialized nations and peripheral developing nations maintain and even worsen global inequality, while modernization theory posits that developing nations will progress as they industrialize. Though global inequality remains, it has decreased slightly from the 1970s as more countries achieved middle-income status by 2009.

    Global inequality
    As of 2009, there was still a stark divide between the wealth of the world's richest
    countries and its poorest, but an increased number of countries had middle-incomes as
    compared to the years prior to 1970. Global inequality remained persistent but had
    decreased somewhat.
