The rich becoming richer continues to be the picture not just in Indian but across the world. A new survey shows that the richest 1 per cent in India cornered 73 per cent of the wealth generated in the country last year. The survey, released by the international rights group Oxfam, shows that the wealth of 67 crore Indians comprising the population’s poorest half rose by just 1 per cent.
The survey showed that the wealth of India’s richest 1 per cent went up by over Rs 20.9 lakh crore during 2017 – an amount equivalent to total budget of the central government in 2017-18.
“In India, it will take 941 years for a minimum wage worker in rural India to earn what the top paid executive at a leading Indian garment firm earns in a year,” says the study named Reward Work, Not Wealth.
