Creating Growth and Jobs for a New Era

The World in Numbers: Inequality

Speakers: Lucas Chancel

The richest 10% of the global population currently hold 76% of all wealth, whereas the poorest half of the population hold less than 2%.

As policy-makers look to rekindle growth in a high debt environment, how can they address the dilemma of reducing inequality without undermining macroeconomic stability?

This session delves into the multiple dimensions of global inequality, its social and economic costs, and the policy choices to address these challenges.
