Critique of an Economic Statement on Inequality

Consider the following statement: 'Global income inequality is decreasing because the average incomes of several large, historically poor countries have grown significantly faster than those of historically rich countries over the past few decades.'

Analyze this statement. What critical dimension of inequality does this statement potentially overlook by focusing solely on national averages, and how might including this dimension change the overall conclusion about global inequality?
