Abstract

The paper explores the complex interplay between globalization and income distribution, examining how the expansion of international trade and investment affects the distribution of wealth across different socio-economic strata. It argues that while globalization has the potential to enhance economic growth and improve living standards, it often exacerbates income inequality. The analysis delves into the mechanisms through which globalization influences income distribution, including the competitive pressures on labor markets, the role of multinational corporations, and the impact of technological advancements. The paper further investigates the varying outcomes of globalization in different regions and countries, highlighting the need for policymakers to implement strategies that mitigate the adverse effects on marginalized populations and promote inclusive growth.
