Short term capital movements were led by financial openings in developing countries. This can be explained from past experiences where income inequality and poverty became worse following the financial crises. Also, the efforts of developing countries to attract foreign direct investments made them deteriorate workers’ conditions. The deregulation of the labor market with the neoliberal reform also increased the unemployed and the share of irregular workers, leading to a rise in wage inequality Even until now, there are many different opinions on whether globalization has any correlation with inequality. No one has the answers to this question with enough empirical evidences but even a mere connection between the two is something that should be considered. International trade and productions definitely helped grow the average wages of many countries meaning that it definitely has positive factors.

Introduction All over the world, there is an obvious contrast between the living standards and lifestyle of the rich and the poor. Moreover, there is a large gap between the populations of poor and wealthy. This is known as the Wealth Gap, and it is caused by Wealth Inequality. Wealth Income/Inequality is defined as “The unequal distribution of assets within a population.” Wealth is defined as more than just the amount of income a person has, but instead the value of a person’s assets.
Globalization is defined as the transfer or easy flow of goods, services and capital from one country to another.

In the past thirty or so years, the world has repeatedly found itself in the situation of dealing with multiple transnational financial crises. The contributing factors for each of course vary, however there are certain patterns and likenesses that can be picked out and analyzed in hopes of better understanding how these events came to take place. This all assists in the realization that each of these issues were not in fact single, isolated problems but rather repercussions to globalization of capital. Due to the long-lasting nature of these events and the complexity and interconnectedness of global economic systems, the solutions that might have been successful historically are not necessarily applicable anymore. It is only in examining
Inefficient policies all around the world and especially in our country are contributing to problems in the society. And the biggest problem which the world faces today is the problem of “Poverty” and “Inequality”. It is hard for one to determine whether poverty causes inequality or is it the other way around because both these problems are interrelated. Poverty is something which is caused due to transferring wealth in to the hands of a specific group and the unjust policies of the government. And inequality is discriminating a person in all spheres of life which gives a rise to sense of deprivation.
Nowadays, in the light of the development in technology, especially in transportation and media, trade and communication has increased rapidly among countries. This trend is called globalization.

Globalization is the process of transformation of the whole world into the global village, and it means that the borders of countries are open to reciprocal integration and connection.
