POLICY AND PRACTICE - The IFS Deaton Review on Inequality
from UCL Political Science Events · host UCL Political Science
The Covid pandemic has exacerbated many existing inequalities and introduced new ones. There could hardly be a more pressing time to understand how inequalities arise, which ones matter, why, and how they should be addressed. Professor Sir Richard Blundell (UCL), Research Director at IFS and PI for the Deaton Review: Inequalities in the 21st Century, will lead the discussion with a presentation of some of the key inequality issues facing the UK. He will be joined by Professor Penny Goldberg (Yale), Chief Economist of the World Bank Group 2018-2020, to examine the role of globalisation and trade on inequality.Presentation slides:RichardPenny
