The World Bank's Deputy Chief Economist, Ana Revenga, will present the World Bank’s flagship report on poverty and inequality

Dear colleagues!

  The World Bank's Deputy Chief Economist, Ana Revenga, will present the World Bank’s flagship report on poverty and inequality

The 2016 report, entitled ‘Taking on Inequality,’ takes a close look at global trends in inequality and the role that inequality reduction plays in decreasing poverty and improving the livelihoods of the poorest in every country. It looks at recent country experiences where there has been success in reducing inequality, provides key lessons from those experiences, and synthesizes the rigorous evidence on public policies that can shift inequality in a way that bolsters poverty reduction and shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. In doing so, the report addresses some myths about the global picture of inequality, and what works to reduce it. Within the context of these global developments, Ms. Revenga will reflect on the case of Russia and focus on the policy recommendations that are most relevant for the country.

Oksana V. Sinyavskaya, Deputy Director of the Institute for Social Policy
