Stating that households and individuals in the lower income group have problems in accessing the health services and taking advantage of available resources,
Dr. Özdemir from Istanbul Gelisim University said: “All the arising problems trigger the increase of cases more than usual in countries with high income inequality and accelerate the current trend.”
Stating that the top countries in the number of cases and income inequality were observed to have high growth rates before the pandemic, Dr. Özdemir spoke: “Although they have gained a significant share from the global product, it is seen that they have reached this result by highly triggering the dynamics that will increase injustice in the distribution of existing resources related to the growth process. In addition, this is not just an increase in income inequality levels measured on a household basis. In terms of production units, it is seen that the labor sector has a lower share than the total income in the output of the functional income distribution. For this reason, we can analyze once again the effects of the increasing level of injustice in income distribution through the number of cases during the pandemic process.”
