We can think of inequality as the difference
between the things some groups of people
have compared to other people.
It is a bit like looking at how a big a slice of
cake one person has compared to another.

There is inequality between
countries in the world.
This means things are not
shared fairly between
countries.
For example, some
countries are wealthy while
others are extremely poor.

There is also inequality within countries.
This means things are not shared fairly
within the same country.
For example, some people may have more
money than others.

Countries can be given a score (called the GINI index) to show
how equal or unequal they are.
0
A score of 0 means that the country is completely equal, that
everyone in that country has the same amount of money.
That would look something like this:
In reality, no country looks like this.
A score of 100 means the country is completely unequal.
This would look something like this:
100
In reality, thankfully, no country looks like this either.

Inequality is not just about how money is shared
between and within countries.
There can also be inequality in the kinds of
opportunities people have in life.
Why do some countries (or
continents) have a greater chance
of winning?
Are there any football reasons?
Are there any non-football reasons?

you?

Where are the countries with the highest
FIFA rankings?

the differences between countries?
Do you think these inequalities are fair?

Slide Note

This cross-curricular resource for 9-14 year olds uses the World Cup to engage learners critically with the question: Is the world a fair place? Through this engagement, they will think carefully about one key current global issue – inequality. Learners will compare statistics about the countries playing in the World Cup, including their FIFA rankings, average incomes, and levels of inequality. They will also explore gender inequality through the lens of football and think critically about why fewer women play football than men. Finally, learners will consider how fairness relates to rules, not just in making the game of football fair, but in our society in general.

  1. The World Cup: A Fair Game? Use the World Cup to explore inequality

  2. Geography session Mapping the differences

  3. Where in the world? UK Viet Nam India Ethiopia Peru Can you locate the UK and Russia on a world map?

  4. There are 32 countries taking part in the World Cup.

  5. What links do we have with these countries? What similarities do these countries have? What differences are there between these countries?

  6. Egypt Australia Brazil Belgium Russia Denmark Costa Rica England Saudi Arabia France Serbia Panama Uruguay Peru Switzerland Tunisia IR Iran Argentina Germany Colombia Morocco Croatia Mexico Japan Portugal Iceland South Korea Poland Spain Nigeria Sweden Senegal

  7. What is inequality? We can think of inequality as the difference between the things some groups of people have compared to other people. It is a bit like looking at how a big a slice of cake one person has compared to another.

  8. Inequality between countries There is inequality between countries in the world. This means things are not shared fairly between countries. For example, some countries are wealthy while others are extremely poor.

  9. Put these countries in order by their average annual income per person. Egypt Lower-middle Upper-middle Low High US$3,410 US$9,720 Russia Senegal US$950 England US$42,370

  10. Inequality within countries There is also inequality within countries. This means things are not shared fairly within the same country. For example, some people may have more money than others.

  11. Scoring inequality within countries Countries can be given a score (called the GINI index) to show how equal or unequal they are. 0 A score of 0 means that the country is completely equal, that everyone in that country has the same amount of money. That would look something like this: In reality, no country looks like this.

  12. Scoring inequality within countries A score of 100 means the country is completely unequal. This would look something like this: 100 In reality, thankfully, no country looks like this either.

  13. Plotting fairness scores Plot the 4 countries on the scale below. 0 25 50 75 100 Completely equal Completely unequal Brazil 51 Iceland 26 England 33 Russia 38

  14. Thinking about inequality Inequality is not just about how money is shared between and within countries. There can also be inequality in the kinds of opportunities people have in life.

  15. Do all teams have an equal chance of winning? Why do some countries (or continents) have a greater chance of winning? Are there any football reasons? Are there any non-football reasons?

  16. FIFA rankings Group A Group B Group C Group D Group E Group F Group G Group H Russia Portugal France Argentina Brazil Germany Belgium Poland 66 7 5 2 1 3 10 4 Saudi Arabia Spain Australia Iceland Switzerland Mexico Panama Senegal 67 8 40 22 6 15 55 28 Egypt Morocco Peru Croatia Costa Rica Sweden Tunisia Colombia 46 42 11 18 25 23 14 16 Uruguay IR Iran Denmark Nigeria Serbia South Korea England Japan 17 36 12 47 35 61 13 60

  17. Time to think What differences do you notice between the countries? Do any of the statistics surprise you? Which ones and why? Do you notice any pattern between income and FIFA ranking? Why do you think this might be?

  18. Questioning the data Which country has the highest average income per person? Which country has the lowest average income per person? Which country is the most equal? Which countries are the most unequal? Which country has the greatest chance of winning the World Cup in 2018? Which country is least likely to win the World Cup in 2018? What is the difference in average income per person between Switzerland and Senegal?

  19. Thinking about maps Does anything about your map surprise you? Where are the richest countries? Where are the countries with the highest FIFA rankings? What do you think might be the reasons for the differences between countries? Do you think these inequalities are fair?

  20. Average income per person
