World Development Report 2006 on Equity and Development

 

The World Development Report (WDR) 2006 explores the role of equity in development. Inequalities in incomes, in health and in educational outcomes have long been a stark fact of life in many developing countries. These are often accompanied by profound differences in influence, power and social status, whether at the level of individuals or groups.  High inequalities matter for development and need to be addressed by domestic and international policies and institutions.

 

            The report will be published in September 2005.
