Oxfam’s global inequality report found that, in 2016, the world’s richest 1 per cent has as much wealth as the poorest 99 per cent. Inequality in Hong Kong (2014 & 2015 figures)

According to Credit Suisse, the wealthiest 1 per cent in Hong Kong owns 1% 52.6 per cent of Hong Kong’s total wealth. According to Forbes, the wealthiest 50 people in Hong Kong have a total wealth of HK$1.85 trillion (as of January 2015), which is equivalent to having 1.23 times what the Hong Kong 50 people government has in its reserve as of April 2015 .

The median monthly household income of the top decile was HK$95,000, while that of the times lowest decile was only HK$5,000. In other words, the poorest decile would need to work 1.58 19 years to earn as much as what the wealthiest earn in a month

190,000 households There were about 190,000 working poor families locally. So, can we end inequality?

Extreme inequality is not inevitable. There are practical ways to close the gap: free public health and education services that help everyone to ensure the poor are not left behind; decent wages that end working poverty; and progressive taxation so that the rich pay their fair share.

Empowering people to fight against inequality

In a small rural village, 170 kilometres south of Zambia’s capital Lusaka, 80 women farmers are finding hope and security growing bananas. Oxfam’s support in irrigation and training has empowered and ensured that women can afford to build better lives for themselves, and send their children to school.

Irene Muzukira, a member of the banana growing group, says, ‘I am a woman. I didn’t have an education because of that. For women, this project can bring about change. We can invest in our children’s education. When men here earn money, they don’t always invest in their children’s education. Sometimes they spend money on other things, like their other wives. I’m

talking from experience. Women will never neglect their children.’ Photo: Abbie Trayler-Smith/Oxfam

Suhad Ben Mohammed Saeed, 26, writes dictation in a school for literacy supported by Oxfam at al-Maefer village in Taiz city, Yemen.

Oxfam ran a three-year programme called AMAL (which means ‘hope’ in Arabic) in Morocco, Tunisia, Yemen and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The programme aims to support women from poor communities to strengthen their confidence, knowledge of their rights and their campaigning and advocacy skills. By doing this, they can become leaders who work with their communities to reclaim their right to political and civic participation, and achieve lasting, positive change. Photo: Hani Mohammed/Oxfam

Oxfam launched the ‘Even It Up’ campaign worldwide in 2014. A diverse groundswell of voices joined us in this campaign, including billionaires, faith leaders and the heads of institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, as well as trade unions, social movements, women’s organisations and millions of ordinary people across the globe. Together, we demand that leaders around the world take action to tackle extreme inequality before it is too late.

Photo: Tsang Wing Kai/Oxfam Left-behind children face both Photo: Wingo Chan/Oxfam psychological and physical risks

• Growing up without their parents' care, protection and guidance have made them vulnerable to anxiety, loneliness, depression and even self-destructive behaviours. Some may even commit crimes. • The village schools these children attend are often poorly equipped and have teachers who lack training. So, these children are losing interest in school, skipping classes or even dropping out of school. • These children are often left in a state of insufficient care, and some fall victim to bullying, physical or sexual abuse, or even deadly accidents. Left-behind children need love and support

The left-behind child phenomenon in numbers (Source: All-China Women's Federation, China report 2013)

• Compared to 2005, the number of pre-school aged Photo: Wingo Chan/Oxfam left-behind children (0-5 years old) has increased by Photo: Wingo Chan/Oxfam 47.73 per cent in 2012.

• About 20 per cent of parents moved to the city to work when their children were less than one year old, and 30 per cent of parents left when their babies were less than three months old. 44.1 per cent of parents left when their children were only two years old.

• One third of left-behind children live with their Wang Xilan, 12, lives in a remote mountainous village in grandparents; about 11 per cent live with other people province. Since her home is very far away from school, she stays at (e.g. family friends or relatives), while about 4 per cent school and only goes home once every two or three weeks. Xilan’s mother has been working in Qinghai province for four years. Growing up live on their own (about 2.057 million). without the love and care of her mother, she always feels lonely. Every time Xilan misses her mother, she cries.

4 Work report Supporting livelihoods and improving basic infrastructure for left-behind children and their carers Oxfam: Where we are carrying out this work: • encourages the government to build roads to improve the transportation of remote villages, Huining County and Kang County in Gansu and to ensure the safety of left-behind children during their commutes to and from school. • builds wells and water pipes to ensure that villagers have access to clean tap water. • offers training to guardians of left-behind children in keeping livestock (e.g. cattle and goats) and farming to improve their incomes.

Lianyin’s son and his wife are migrant workers. Having moved to the city, they have left Lianyin and her husband to look after their two children in a remote village in Huining County, Gansu. The old couple has to work in the field every day, but however hard they work, the harvest is poor as the land is barren, and because of dry weather and the water shortage. Two years ago, Lianyin joined Oxfam’s livelihood project and received two goats. After just one year, her family had five goats. Their livelihood has gradually improved and their grandchildren can now eat more nutritious food. Photo: Tsang Wing Kai/Oxfam Photo: Tsang

Last year, Guoyuan joined Oxfam’s livelihood project and received two goats. He hopes that the female goat will give birth to some baby goats so that he can sell them and earn some money to support his grandchildren’s education.

5 Advocacy and policy research for lasting change Psychological support

Oxfam is: Oxfam recruits and trains volunteers as school social workers • lobbying the Education Department to support multi-grade teaching to provide support and care to left-behind children, including: in rural areas, and supporting ethnic minority left-behind children • tutorial sessions and psychological counselling. with bicultural and multicultural teaching materials. • activity centres and extracurricular activities for children. • exploring sustainable education models for left-behind children. • home visits to strengthen communication between • conducting research on social support and government policies on left-behind children and their families. left-behind children, and advocating for fair opportunities to education and more resources for left-behind children. Where we are carrying out this work: • carrying out publicity and media work to improve understanding about Huining County, Kang County, Zhengning County in Gansu the lives and challenges left-behind children face.

They are the guardians of left-behind children Tan Jinquan, 26, worked as a volunteer social worker in Sanheba Township Primary School from 2013 to 2015. Jinquan told us, ‘In the northwest region of China, there are no social workers based in schools to offer children with support. Since teachers are busy with teaching, they inevitably neglect the psychological Photo: Wingo Chan/Oxfam needs of the children. So, we fill the gap to provide care and support to these particularly vulnerable and sensitive children who lack parental care.’ While he worked at the school, Jinquan would go on home visits from time to time to see how the children were doing. The children were very attached to him and trusted him greatly; so much so that they even asked him to cut their hair. In August 2015, Jinquan finished his work as a social worker in the programme. On the day he left the school, the students walked him to the bus station and were very saddened to see him leave. But when he returned two months later as a staff member of Oxfam’s partner organisation who was responsible for this project, they were surprised and elated.

Taojing, 22, graduated from the Shanghai University of Political Science and Law in 2015. While most of her classmates have chosen to work in the financial sector or in government departments, Taojing decided to pursue a career

in social work. When she learnt that Oxfam was Photo: Wingo Chan/Oxfam recruiting volunteers as school social workers in rural areas, she jumped at the opportunity.

After undergoing training in Beijing, Taojing went to a primary school in a remote township in Gansu, and is going to stay there for one year to provide support and care to the school children there. Though life in rural areas is simple, she enjoys being with the children. She explained, ‘Most of the children stay at the school and only go home every two to three weeks. So, every week, I organise various extracurricular activities for them in the activity centre that Oxfam supports. I chat with them to learn about their needs. Sometimes, if the children miss their parents, they ask me to lend them my mobile phone so they can call their parents.’

The ‘Tang poems reading class’ at Jingwen School, Guiyang City Text and photos by Yang Lan, Senior Programme Officer, China Programme Unit

Guiyang is the capital of Guizhou province of Southwest China, and it is also the fastest growing city in the province. A lot of migrant workers have poured into the city for employment, and they are mostly engaged in low-paid work such as construction, manufacturing and transportation. As migrant workers, most of them cannot send their children – who they bring with to the city – to public schools, so they end up sending their children to private schools, which lack sufficient resources. Jingwen is one of these schools for migrant children.

Jingwen School has a serious shortage of teachers and lacks the necessary resources to carry out extracurricular activities for students, which has seriously affected the development and wellbeing of its students. To help solve the problem, Oxfam assisted in the setting up of a study group and provided books through its local partner Association of Women's Capacity-building and Development. Together, we have also formed various interest Long Guimei (left) enjoys learning Tang poems. groups and organised extracurricular activities such as drawing, storytelling and handicraft competitions. In September 2015, we Chen Tianguo read a Tang poem to me. He told me that he has learnt a few formed the ‘Tang poems reading class’. I met some students and classical Chinese poems and has read ‘Journey to the West’. He thinks learnt how the activity has helped cultivate their interest in reading. reading has helped broaden his horizons. One day, he might have to migrate to other cities with his parents, but right now, he only hopes to read more Long Guimei is a primary six student. She has participated in all books and finish the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. interest groups and won second place in a drawing competition. She enjoys learning Tang poems in the reading class, and also loves ‘Grandma Li’ is the most popular person in the reading class. As she has reading books there. She told me, ‘I have learnt a lot of new retired, she can come to teach the children to read, and teach arts and vocabulary by reading. I can write a 500-word piece now. Before, I crafts every afternoon. Grandma Li told me that she is happy to see that could only write 100 words. I also enjoy drawing with other many students have taken a liking to reading! students.’
