    Reporting on global inequity The Hindu, quoting an oxfam study writes that global wealth inequality has reached staggering proportions with 1 in 9 people not getting enough to eat and over a billion people living on less than 1.25 dollars a day. The paper adds that if this rate of wealth accumulation continues, the top 1 percent of the world population could end up earning more than the other 99 percent!
