The Global Development Network held its 14th Annual Global Development Conference on `Inequality, Social Protection and Inclusive Growth` in Manila on 19-21 June 2013. About 400 participants attended the conference from all over the world including the East Asia region and the Philippines.
This conference was organized by Global Development Network in partnership with Asian Development Bank (ADB), East Asian Development Network (EADN), and Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS).
In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, there is now a growing consciousness of the benefits of social protection in fighting poverty and inequality, and empowering people to adjust and seize opportunities to deal with unemployment and increase productivity. The main focus of the conference is thus to promote the importance of social policies and social protection systems that address and reduce inequality and social exclusion for long-term sustainable and inclusive growth.
Among the topics to covered at the conference were:
Global perspectives on inequality
Gender, inequality and social protection
Regional perspectives on inequality and inclusive growth
Mechanisms to promote social protection for inclusive growth
Key challenges for social protection policies
Inequality, social protection and inclusive growth in the context of the post-2015 development agenda
