> Does Inequality Matter? Virtual launch of new OECD report and high-level roundtable, 18 November 2021

The recovery following the COVID-19 crisis requires policies and reforms that tackle inequalities and promote equal opportunities. However, the implementation of such reforms needs widespread support from the public. To better understand what factors drive public support, the new report Does Inequality Matter? How People Perceive Economic Disparities and Social Mobility provides a detailed cross-country analysis of what people think of inequality and how this shapes their demand for inequality-reducing policies. The presentation of key findings from the report will be followed by a high-level panel discussion on how people’s perceptions of and concern over inequality can inform policy-making.

OECD World Forums on “Statistics, Knowledge and Policy”

For close to two decades, the OECD World Forums on "Statistics, Knowledge and Policy" have been pushing forward the boundaries of well-being measurement and policy. By bringing together thousands of leaders, experts and practitioners from around the world, and from all sectors of society, the Forums have helped to shape the ongoing paradigm shift to emphasise people’s well-being as the ultimate focus for policies and collective action.
