Abstract:

Inequality and economic sustainability are of global concern within and among countries. In other to assess the relationship between inequality and sustainable growth, 10 countries Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Germany, India, Mexico, South Africa and Vietnam were selected from 5 continents. Economic indices (population living below international poverty line ($1.90 a day), unemployment rate (% of economically active population), inflation, median disposable income per household (USD), the real gross domestic product at purchasing power parity (GDP-PPP), imports and exports (USD) were selected with real GDP (PPP) used as the dependent of the 7 variables spanning 1993 to 2022. Linear regressions were run for all 10 countries providing 10 linear regression equations pointing out which of the variables were important to each country real GDP(PPP). It was also shown in the case study that reduction in the poverty rate of developing /emerging nations were paramount to their sustainable growth. It also showed that median disposable income per household was important in the control of the real GDP and in turn can be used in the control of sustainability.
