International Conference 2024

Theme: “Promoting Inclusive Growth: Addressing Socio-economic Disparities on the Journey to a Sustainable Economy”

Introduction:

In today's global landscape, the pursuit of a sustainable economy must be synonymous with advancing inclusive growth and addressing socio-economic disparities. This conference theme underscores the critical importance of fostering economic development that benefits all segments of society while ensuring environmental sustainability and social equity.

Inclusive growth refers to an economic model that allows all individuals and communities to actively participate in and benefit from the wealth generated by economic growth. It goes beyond mere GDP figures to encompass broader measures of well-being, such as access to education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and social protection. Inclusive growth seeks to reduce inequality and create a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources.Socio-economic disparities manifest in various forms, including unequal access to education, healthcare, finance, and job opportunities based on factors like income level, gender, ethnicity, or geographic location. These disparities hinder overall economic progress and social stability, creating barriers to achieving sustainable development goals.

Conference Objectives:

This conference aims to:

• Explore innovative strategies and best practices for promoting inclusive growth.
• Examine case studies and research on effective policies and interventions.
• Facilitate dialogue among stakeholders to identify actionable steps for reducing socio-economic disparities.
• Highlight the interconnectedness between inclusive growth and sustainable development.

Promoting inclusive growth is not only a moral imperative but also an economic necessity for building resilient and sustainable economies. By addressing socio-economic disparities and fostering equitable opportunities, we can create a more just and prosperous world for everyone. This conference provides a platform to advance these discussions and catalyse collective action towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.
