Equity and Inclusion in Economic Development

This is a multistage project bringing together thought leaders and practitioners from both the private and public sectors to help inform discussion and stimulate thought on the issue at hand: How do we bridge the income inequality gap in order to ensure the opportunity for people to enter the prosperous economy? While it used to be that equity and inclusion was a social/moral imperative, it is clear that it is now an economic imperative.
