This video from Observatoire des Inégalités is created with the upcoming French elections in mind. It shows the social inequalities in the country. French kids get to play a game of Monopoly, but with a different set of rules. Some kids start with an advantage: they receive more starting money and a couple of streets and houses. The girls get less money than the boys, one boy gets to play with a set of dices that only has the number one on them. One boy has a card which makes sure that he doesn’t go go prison. The kids’ reactions shows how unfair these unequalities are. Observatoire des inégalités wanted to show that social inequality divides the French society, and it’s time to change the rules of the game in the upcoming elections.
