As new research uncovers the many negative impacts that high inequality can have, a consensus is emerging that achieving is a global goal of critical importance.
This WIDER Development Conference, the second of 2022, will provide a forum to discuss innovative, theoretical, and empirical research on inequality, and its policy takeaways.

Speakers include leading scholars of inequality, including Raquel Fernández and Francisco H.G. Ferreira. In addition, a parallel series organized by the VII Colombian Economy Congress, will form part of the programme.
