Inequality in Focus: Home

The latest issue of Inequality in Focus takes a closer look at the World Bank Group's twin goals of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. Should they be prioritized? Might they compete for attention and resources within countries? The authors explore these questions and more. The issue also includes an interview with Professor Raj Chetty, an award-winning economist and Harvard professor, on increasing opportunities and improving income mobility for the poor. His work on how the quality of teaching at all levels of education can substantially improve the outcomes and opportunities for students may have important implications for education in low-, middle-, and high-income countries alike.
