Inequality in Asia and the Pacific in the Era of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

This publication reviews the region’s inequality trends, challenges and achievements and identifies policy gaps across the three dimensions of inequality–inequality of outcome, inequality of opportunity and inequality of impact. It also discusses the potential impact of rapid and disruptive technological advances, such as machine learning, and puts forward a broad set of policy recommendations for reducing all forms of inequality for the effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its core tenant of “”leaving no one behind””.
