CEOs from the top five global fashion brands only have to work four days to make what a Bangladeshi garment worker will make in a lifetime, according to a report from campaigning group Oxfam International.
Oxfam's report, "Reward work, not wealth," based findings on the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Data book. The report calculated billionaires' wealth using Forbes' billionaires list published in March 2017.
Oxfam surveyed 70,000 people in 10 countries, which included the U.S., U.K., India, Nigeria, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, Morocco, Netherlands and Denmark.
Here are five takeaways from the report.
1. The report found it takes approximately one working day for a U.S. CEO to make what the nation's average employee makes in a year.
2. The richest one percent of the global population received 82 percent of wealth generated last year. The 3.7 billion people who make up the poorest half of the world saw no increase in their wealth.
3. Since 2010, billionaire wealth increased by an annual average of 13 percent. The average workers' pay has only risen two percent in that time.
4. Governments should limit returns to shareholders and top executives so workers receive a minimum "living wage" and should work to eliminate the gender pay gap, according to Oxfam.
5. "The billionaire boom is not a sign of a thriving economy but a symptom of a failing economic system," said Winnie Byanyima, executive director of Oxfam International. "The people who make our clothes, assemble our phones and grow our food are being exploited to ensure a steady supply of cheap goods, and swell the profits of corporations and billionaire investors."
