Fairer Economies

Since World War II, average life expectancy across the globe has risen by 30 years. Meanwhile, access to healthcare and education has lifted billions out of poverty. But wealth inequality within many nations has soared, social mobility reversed, and cohesion undermined. Now there are fears new technology will make things worse. How do we reshape economies so that growth benefits the many and not just the few and so ensure that the extraordinary engine of human development we built is made sustainable?

In this context, it's crucial for businesses, governments, and civil society to work together to find common solutions and take decisive action. Through its Centres, the World Economic Forum integrates public-private efforts to achieve greater impact.
