Attaining the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal of Reduced Inequalities

Achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal of Reduced Inequalities focuses on Sustainable Development Goal number ten (SDG#10), which aims to reduce inequality within and among countries by promoting social, economic and political inclusion for all, regardless of factors such as age, gender, disability, race, ethnicity, origin or religion. Recognizing that inequality can obstruct long-term development, SDG#10 aims to ensure equitable access to healthcare, opportunities, and overall well-being, fostering a more just and inclusive society. Examining family businesses from Mongolia, Spain, India, Australia, and Malaysia, each chapter presents a unique perspective from their respective country, analysing how SDG#10 translates into tackling inequalities. The case studies presented generate insights and key takeaways into how family businesses help to reduce inequalities in their respective countries.


The United Nations' (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 Goals pledged by 193 nations in 2015 which would help engender an improved, fairer, and more sustainable world - one in which 'no one is left behind'. The SDGs are a call to action, to develop innovative solutions to the most complex, societal, and environmental global challenges.

Accessible to those working in the field beyond academia - such as family business practitioners, family business owners, government and policymakers, members of NGOs, business associations and philanthropic centres - this book series equally appeals to those with a general interest in entrepreneurship and business.
