About Wealth Inequality Pathway

How has COVID-19 affected global wealth inequality, and what can we do about it? Everyone has been economically affected by global shocks such as COVID-19, but not everyone has experienced the same level of impact. In fact, the inequality caused by these shocks is more severe than many realise. In this pathway, leading experts in economic inequality, will guide you through the unequal impact of the pandemic across different regions, the rise in destitution, and how we can recover by learning from past mistakes. Larissa will then present a potential solution, explaining how a progressive consumption tax policy could help tackle the growing wealth disparity.
