2021 The United Nations did a report on the progress of the Sustainable Development Goals which shows how badly the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the progress of Sustainable Development Goal 10. It is predicted that the pandemic has caused the least developed countries around the world to be delayed on hitting the Sustainable Development Goals for as much as 10 years. Due to the pandemic it is estimated that there will be an increase of more than 6% on average for the Gini Index of emerging markets and developing countries, with a much more devastating effect on the lesser developed countries of the world. The Gini Index is a ratio which is able to determine the income inequality where 0 means that all income is shared equally between all the population and 100 means all the income belongs to a single person. By the middle of 2020 the number of people who have tried to run away from their country has increased to 24 million which is the highest it has ever been. Due to border restrictions and mobility restrictions that were caused from the pandemic with an all-time high amount of refugees, it has caused a large spike of deaths and disappearances of refugees in 2020 totalling 4186 people. Organizations Organizations that work on achieving SDG 10 include: IMF OECD UN WEF US Based Organizations In the US there are over twenty-eight thousand tax-exempt organizations working on issues related to UN SDG 10, according to data filed with the Internal Revenue Service –IRS and aggregated by X4Impact.
