Striving for Inclusive Economic Growth in Asia and the Pacific: A Research Conference in Honor of Peter McCawley
Time of Event
9:00–17:00 Manila time
Summary
Despite strong economic growth in Asia and the Pacific, inequality has not fallen. Parts of society enjoy a smaller piece of the larger pie.

The conference is held in honor of Peter McCawley, who spent his career conducting research on the topic, specifically on Indonesia, regional development, and infrastructure.
