Making Globalization Work: Expanding the Benefits of Globalization to Working Families and the Poor
Mon, December 2nd, 2002
The conference provided a timely reality check, as top analysts and policy makers reviewed the empirical evidence regarding the impacts of globalization on workers, the poor and income inequality. Participants then laid out concrete policy alternatives in the areas of trade, employment conditions and social safety nets, designed to distribute the benefits of economic integration more broadly across and within countries. This new assessment is immediately relevant, as the sweeping advance of globalization in the 1990s has now encountered significant resistance given the slowdown of the global economy and criticism that economic liberalization has done too little to alleviate poverty.
