UNU WIDER : Addressing group-based inequalities work in progress workshop

The UNU-WIDER project Addressing group-based inequalities holds a virtual workshop to discuss research on 'Experiences of Reform', the component of the project which offers a comparative assessment of worldwide efforts to reduce group-based inequalities. The workshop is attended by researchers in the project who are completing papers for a forthcoming edited volume (to include eight country-case studies) and by researchers selected to examine the politics and experiences of reform under the project's open call for papers. All papers are forthcoming in the WIDER Working Paper Series.

The project's two other components focus on 1) migrant experiences in host countries and 2) the creation of an affirmative action database to track global policy efforts to reduce group-based inequalities.
