20% of the population in the developed nations consumes 86% of the world's goods. This is the ideal example of .......................... .
Answer: B
It is an example of global disparities.
The figure comes from the UNDP Human Development Report 1998, which found that the richest fifth of the world's people, in the highest-income countries, accounted for 86% of total private consumption while the poorest fifth accounted for just over 1%. The point is the gap between rich and poor nations, which is what global disparity means.
Global poverty and endemic poverty describe the condition of the poor, not the share consumed by the rich, and 'dimension of poverty' names one aspect of deprivation rather than an inequality between nations.
