ID: 385238
Committee: Global Economics
Subject: Income Inequality
Proposed by: Taiwan

The General Assembly,

1) Aware of the fact that income inequality has been a long standing issue for both developing 2) countries and advanced countries, and that different methods must be applied for different 3) countries, for their different situations require specific resolutions,

4) Alarmed by the severity of income inequality in advanced countries: such as the US, where 5) two thirds of financial wealth is concentrated at the top 5% of the income ladder,

6) Cognizant of the need to reform public education that children receive in the US, which is 7) currently unequal (due to taxation), and the importance of education in financial success, 8) and narrowing the income gap,

9) Bear in mind that many poor students still cannot afford college, even with scholarships, 10) and that the minimum wage must be raised to give poor families a living wage,

11) Taking note that developing countries’ wide income gap, despite industrialization, is
12) largely caused by rapid population growth: which leads to hunger, and destroys children’s 13) educations,

14) Recognize that globalization and industrialization has in many ways not benefitted
15) developing countries, such as those in Africa, because uneducated workers aren’t able to 16) be benefited from new jobs that they cannot take on,

17) Remember that people living in poverty in Bangladesh aren’t benefiting from economic 18) growth, due to unequal sharing of economic growth: also unable to benefit from new jobs,

19) Aware of the severity of inflation’s (food, and general) effect on the poor, such as in
20) Singapore and Bangladesh,

21) Recall that the UN has already established work programme to assist staticians to find
22) poverty statistics, to meet the growing demand, and raises funds, (240 programmes to
23) help 147 countries) leads global efforts to end hunger, and states African nations as the 24) top priority,

25) Alarmed by incorrect statistics provided by governments, including Taiwan’s, outdated
26) taxation systems (such as in the US and Taiwan) that are unfitting, and even
27) unreasonable, and the lack of attention that some governments have provided for this
28) rising and alarming issue in their country,

29) Guided by the standards of the United Nations global lead in helping end poverty, and
30) reduce income inequality in both developing and advanced countries,

31) 1. Supports the current UN programme and funds;

32) 2. Calls for a new emphasis to update outdated taxation systems, on inflation’s impact on 33) the poor, unequal sharing of growth, and education and food’s importance in escaping
34) poverty;

35) 3. Endorses each countries’ governments’ effort to lessen income inequality, such as
36) raising the minimum wage, providing programs for the poor, special taxation systems, etc;

37) 4. Calls upon attention to the severity of population growth and hunger’s impact on
38) children’s brain development and education in developing countries;

39) 5. Approves of direct aid to raise awareness to governments of unreliable statistics that 40) they use, and the growing inequality to governments that provides a lack of attention to;

41) 6. Expresses its hope that though income inequality is an unique issue to the specific
42) situations that each country is in, and will be difficult to tackle, that each country will solve 43) national issues (ie taxation), while other countries generate funds and other ways to help 44) solve larger issues (ie hunger) that countries by themselves are unable (financially) to
45) solve;

46) 7. Urges the UN to seek new ways to help developing nations (including African countries 47) and Bangladesh) achieve equal sharing of economic growth, and escape poverty, to
48) lessen the income inequality in these countries.

Note though that your formatting may have been a little bit butchered by Word. It's not really an issue, just thought it might be something to call attention to before you print it.
