2. Page 2 WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE WORLD CUP? Where is it?
When is it? Which countries are playing? What groups are they in?
Where is each game? Are all the countries the same?
3. Page 3 WHAT IS INEQUALITY? Inequality: the difference
between the things some groups of people have compared to other
people. Examples of inequality: In sport: some athletes have better
facilities and training than others. Between countries: some
countries are wealthy while others are extremely poor and have
large scale poverty. Within countries: in some countries there are
many people who only have a little and a few people who have a lot
more this could be money, or things like better healthcare or
education.

5. Page 5 COUNTRY INCOMES The World Bank classifies each
country as either: a high income country an upper-middle income
country a lower-middle income country a low income country Which do
you think each of these countries is? Ivory CoastUSA

7. Page 7 Was there a big difference between the country
incomes? This is called income inequality. Lets look at the income
inequality between the higher and lower income countries in the
World Cup. WORLD CUP INEQUALITY
8. Page 8 Can you compare the ratios of the top 3 and bottom 3
World Cup countries average incomes? Highest 3 incomes: av. $66,000
Lowest 3 incomes: av. $1,300 Ratio = 66 : 1.3 = 66 / 1.3 = 51 =
51:1 This means the richest 3 countries have 51x more money per
person than the poorest 3 in the World Cup. Is this fair? COMPARING

10. Page 10 SCORING INEQUALITY WITHIN COUNTRIES Countries are
given a score to show how equal or unequal they are. 0 A score of 0
means that the country is completely equal, that everyone in that
country has the same amount of money. That would look something
like this: In reality, no country looks like this.
11. Page 11 SCORING INEQUALITY WITHIN COUNTRIES A score of 1.0
means the country is completely unequal. This would look something
like this: 1 In reality, thankfully, no country looks like this
either.
