摘要

近几十年来，亚太地区的快速增长和减贫伴随着收入和财富不平等的加剧。技术进步、全球化、放松管制和市场化改革以及金融化创造了许多新的机会，但资本回报大于劳动力，技术工人受益大于非技术工人，扩大了空间不平等，并产生了越来越多的超级富豪。对一些国家来说，人口老龄化也加剧了不平等现象。本文介绍了亚太地区收入和财富不平等的最新趋势，探讨了不平等加剧背后的原因，并讨论了解决不平等问题所需的政策行动。它还评估了新冠肺炎可能如何加剧该地区的不平等。

Income and Wealth Inequality in Asia and the Pacific: Trends, Causes, and Policy Remedies

The Asia–Pacific region's rapid growth and poverty reduction in recent decades have been accompanied by rising income and wealth inequality. Technological progress, globalization, deregulation and market-oriented reform, and financialization have generated many new opportunities, but rewarded capital more than labor, benefited skilled workers more than the unskilled, widened spatial inequality, and produced a growing number of the superrich. For some countries, population aging has also contributed to rising inequality. The present paper provides an update on recent trends of income and wealth inequality in the Asia–Pacific region, examines causes behind rising inequality, and discusses policy actions needed to tackle inequality. It also assesses how the COVID-19 has likely worsened inequality in the region.

Emphasis is placed on identifying key issues at the time - spanning international trade, international finance, the environment, energy, the integration of regional economies and other issues - in order to furnish ideas and proposals to contribute positively to the policy debate in the region.
