The current level of inequality in many countries is astonishing, and the recent pandemic crisis has exacerbated the gap between the rich and the poor. Moreover, inequality today seems to be much more complex. Economic inequality is still an important issue but intergenerational inequality, along with gender and ecological inequality, is also becoming a serious threat.
This session presents “inclusive prosperity” as the way forward in addressing inequality issues that young people are facing today, and discusses the role of government and academia in alleviating inequality.
