The world's richest one percent raked in 82 percent of the wealth created last year while the poorest half of the population received none Vans Bordeaux White Old Skool Canvas Sale , Oxfam said Monday, as the world's elite prepared to mingle at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
A new report from the charity also found that the wealth of billionaires has grown six times faster than that of ordinary workers since 2010, with another billionaire minted every two days between March 2016 and March 2017.
Oxfam used its findings to paint a picture of a global economy in which the wealthy few amass ever-greater fortunes while hundreds of millions of people are "struggling to survive on poverty pay".
"The billionaire boom is not a sign of a thriving economy but a symptom of a failing economic system," Oxfam executive director Winnie Byanyima said in a statement.
Oxfam also emphasised the plight of women workers, who "consistently earn less than men" and often have the lowest paid, least secure jobs. Nine out of 10 billionaires are men Vans Perf Leather Old Skool Zip White UK , it added.
The report, titled "Reward Work, not Wealth", used data from Credit Suisse to compare the returns of top executives and shareholders to that of ordinary workers.
It found that chief executives of the top five global fashion brands made in just four days what garment workers in Bangladesh earn over a lifetime.
"The people who make our clothes, assemble our phones and grow our food are being exploited to ensure a steady supply of cheap goods, and swell the profits of corporations and billionaire investors Vans Old Skool Leather Zip White Online ,"said Byanyima.
To fight rising inequality, Oxfam called on governments to limit the returns of shareholders and top executives, close the gender pay gap, crackdown on tax avoidance and increase spending on healthcare and education.
The study was released on the eve of top political and business figures meeting at a luxury Swiss ski resort for the annual World Economic Forum, which this year says it will focus on how to create "a shared future in a fractured world".
"It's hard to find a political or business leader who doesn't say they are worried about inequality," said Byanyima.
"It's even harder to find one who is doing something about it. Many are actively making things worse by slashing taxes and scrapping labour rights."

TOKYO Vans Leather Old Skool Reissue DX Black Cheap Prices , Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- Japan's ruling camp grouped by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its junior partner, the Komeito Party, has won a two-thirds "super majority" in Sunday's lower house election, according to vote counting results reported by public broadcaster NHK.
As of 01:50 a.m. local time on Monday (1650 GMT Sunday), the LDP has secured 283 seats of the 465-seat lower house of parliament and the Komeito Party has won 29 seats, while there were still 10 seats undecided with vote counting still going on nike air vapormax flyknit uk , according to NHK.
The ruling camp taking two-thirds majority in lower house would pave the way for the prime minister to realize his long-term ambition of revising the postwar pacifist constitution, local analysts said.
"I want to accept this victory with humility," Abe told a television program after the election on Sunday.
He added that he expects "discussions on revising the constitution to deepen" in the parliament in an attempt to seek more support from various forces on the issue.
Meanwhile, the "reform conservative" Party of Hope led by Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike and the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDPJ) are vying for the largest opposition.
The Party of Hope, while sharing the LDP's conservative views on constitutional change and security laws, has been against consumption tax hike and criticized Abe's economic policies dubbed Abenomics.
The CDPJ nike air vapormax uk , set up only about a couple of weeks ago by the collapsing Democratic Party's liberal wing, was quick to rise after voters' initial enthusiasm for the Party of Hope ebbed.
Yoshihiko Noda, former prime minister, said that the opposition forces should have been able to win more seats with support rating for Abe's cabinet dropping amid scandals, but the splitting-up of the opposition benefited the ruling camp.
Voter turnout was expected to be around 53.60 percent, slightly higher than the record low of 52.66 percent for the previous lower house election in 2014 slip on vans uk , according to a NHK projection.
A powerful typhoon approaching the Japanese archipelago, bringing rain and strong winds and disrupting traffic, was expected to weigh on the turnout, but a record high of 21 million people, or around 20.1 percent of the eligible population, have cast their ballots early.
Due to the typhoon toy story vans uk , regional election boards of some municipalities have announced that ballots counting in those areas could be delayed to Monday.
