Challenging Global Wealth Inequality
Friday, April 15, 2016
Session Description
In both developed and developing countries, wealth distribution is increasingly distorted. A 2014 study of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries concluded that wealth inequality was at its highest level for the past half century. Speakers will explore the factors behind increasing disparities and the role social enterprises can play to achieve a more equitable future, while fundamentally shifting the global equity paradigm.
