Did you know that Sub-Saharan Africa is the most unequal region in the world after Latin America and the Caribbean? Beyond income disparities, unequal access to public services and unfair rules of the game in the marketplace conspire to hold people back and limit their potential to participate fully in the economy. In this discussion of the Africa’s Pulse – a biannual snapshot of economic trends in the region, speakers from the World Bank, Oxfam and academia will debate the role that inequality plays in constraining growth and invite viewers to imagine a future where each person is allowed to be as productive and prosperous as they would like to be.
