Conference Programme Inefficient Inequality

Conference Programme (PDF)

Much attention is given to the existence and measurement of gender inequality, but relatively little attention is given to the macroeconomic costs that result from the presence of inequality. At this conference, researchers, policy-makers, and business representatives will discuss the costs and inefficiencies that result from gender inequality. What are potential solutions? What policies need to be implemented, and at which level?
Studies and conclusions will then be published in the January/February 2017 Intereconomics Forum.
