We live in a complex world of unparallelled affluence and immense deprivation. Yet cutting across this complexity, there are a set of key areas of focus for the contemporary policy agenda of states seeking to bring about improvements in human development: climate change; population structures; conflict and complex emergencies; gender and development; the role of employment in livelihoods; and social protection. Issues in global human inequality explores these key policy debates, connecting the global to the local and portraying our individual connection to social change and development.
