The Bertelsmann Stiftung Foundation of Germany has published a study entitled “Social Justice in the OECD — How Do the Member States Compare?” It analyzed some metrics of basic fairness and equality among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries. (OECD is the 34-member Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.)
It ranked America among the ones at the bottom — between Spain and Greece but far below a lot of countries that we popularly consider inferior or “socialist” such as France, Canada and even Britain.
According to this report, we rank very badly on poverty and poverty prevention and poverty among children and senior citizens. In the Gini Index on income inequality, only Mexico, Turkey and Chile are worse than we are.
