Brief

What does it take to put an end to global poverty? Technological transformation, global health crises, transformative technology, and intensive financial globalization have all been blamed for exacerbated poverty indices. But is the expanding wealth gap an inevitability of progress and growth or can it be consciously mitigated? Can innovative digital systems accelerate our collective effort to put an end to poverty? Or is the solution a systemic shift? During this session, we hear from Professor Esther Duflo, Nobel Laureate and co-director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab who will share insights and tools to address the increasing rate of poverty across global social and economic systems.
