Income inequality in the US continues to rise, according to a report from the Congressional Budget Office. That report, which presents data from 2018, finds that average income before taxes and transfers among households in the lowest fifth of the income distribution was $22,500, while income for households in the highest fifth averaged $321,700. Below is background on the trends in income inequality since 1979, as well as an explanation of how government policies can affect those trends.

Answer:Income inequality increased.

Explanation:

Income inequality increased. The rate of poverty at the end of Reagan's term was the same as in 1980. Cutbacks in income transfers during the Reagan years helped increase both poverty and inequality. Changes in tax policy helped increase inequality, but reduced poverty. These policy shifts are not the only reasons for the lack of progress against poverty and the rise in inequality. Broad social and economic factors have been widening income differences and making it harder for families to stay out of poverty. Policy choices during the Reagan Administration reinforced those factors.

The people that have largely shaped African history since the 16th century are the C. European people.

<h3>How has Europe shaped African history?</h3>

The Europeans have perhaps shaped the history of Africa more than any other people. This is outstanding considering that the Europeans only started interacting with most of Africa from the 16th century. The first way they shaped the history of Africa was through slavery.

European people carried millions of Africans from their homeland, and dispersed them across the world, especially in the Americas. This reduced the population of the continent.

Europeans then came and colonized most of Africa. Indeed at some point, more than 90% of Africa was under the control of the Europeans. They used this pwoer to exploit the continent for its resources. Even after Africa gained independence, these European countries still continued to influence the government of African nations, and exploit her resources further.
