Technology Transfer
In 2007, a report by the International Monetary Fund, technology widening rich-poor gap, concluded that the world had become increasingly unequal since the 1980's. It stated that technology has contributed most to this rising inequality and technological divergence. The IMF believed that this was because: -rising levels of technology require a skilled workforce and education that the poorest lack. -manufacturing plants in Asia have trained a skilled workforce, allowing them to benefit much more than unskilled workers in Africa and Latin America.

The report concluded that education was key to ensuring people in the least developed parts of the world could benefit from new technology. Without this, they will continue to be left behind.
