CHILD POVERTY AND INEQUALITY: THE WAY FORWARD

(Barry) #1

  • Are policies being selected and designed through inclusive


processes—in other words, through open and public discourse?


At the global level, some of the initiatives that could support and


complement the efforts of national governments include:



  • Consider the social impacts of different global policies, such as


international trade and finance, and promote those options that
have larger positive impacts on inclusive national development
and directly benefit the majority of households in a country.


  • Promote a universal global social protection floor to support


adequate income and services for all, which also supports
investment in the human capital of poor people.


  • Given gross income asymmetries at the global level, ensure


donor commitments are upheld and pursue new international
sources of development finance.


  • Encourage South-South cooperation as a vehicle to promote


regional solidarity.
