Ahead of the OECD Forum in Paris next week, CNN is hosting a tweet chat Monday May 27 between 12pm and 12:30pm BST to debate how the crisis has split the world and hear your views on who is at fault and how it can be fixed.
Using the hashtag #inequalityCNN,
tell us how the crisis has impacted your life, and what generation X
and Y -- those hardest hit by unemployment -- can do to change the
global story.
Join the conversation with CNN's special guests European Youth Forum president Peter Matjasic and secretary general Giuseppe Porcaro, entrepreneur Karl Petter Rygh and Intern Aware in UK's Ben Lyons. They are attending the OECD Forum as youth representatives.
Poorer households either lost more income from the recession or benefited less from recovery
OECD report
OECD report
CNN will pull the best
comments into a story to run ahead of the OECD Forum, on May 28 and 29,
which will be discussing how the world can pull itself out of the
financial mire and revealing its global economic outlook.
The forum follows the
release of OECD figures this month showing income inequality increased
as much in the first three years of the crisis as it had in the previous
12 years -- if mitigating factors such as taxes and welfare were not
taken into account.
Madrid at the center of protests
The figures show that in
countries where the financial crisis hit hard, such as Greece, Spain and
Italy, poor households "either lost more income from the recession or
benefited less from recovery."
Europe's unemployment crisis
Greece and Spain are also
the countries in which youth unemployment has reached the eurozone's
highest levels, sitting at 62.5% and 55.9% respectively. Italy youth
unemployment sits at 38.4%, according to Eurostat.
Luxury sales defy economic gloom
Meanwhile the number of billionaires increased by 210 to 1,426, according to the 2013 Forbes Billionaires List, with the aggregate net wealth increasing to $5.4 trillion from $4.6 trillion.
Is this fair? Tell us what you think, Monday May 27 at 12pm to 12:30pm BST.
