Climate change. When the really bad shit starts happening that actually demands a government response, the first world will be able to do reforestation and build sea walls and things like that to mitigate the worst of the effects - but the third world will be trapped sending us materials for those projects while getting only the bare minimum built to keep the extraction going.
"Unskilled" labor. A lot of dangerous or life-shortening work requires just as much specialized knowledge as something like being an accountant, but we have organized society in such a way that the kids of poor people end up in dangerous jobs and the kids of wealthy people end up in safe ones (and the kids of the wealthiest people just pretend to work).
