Plenary: Structural Determinants of Social Inequities
The increase of social inequalities is one of the largest challenges humankind is facing in the 21st century. Social structural conditions and forces affect the wellbeing, quality of life, and health of the population as well as the generation of social inequities among different social groups and territories. Increasing evidence shows that these inequities exist between and within countries. This interactive plenary session will feature a conversation among the speakers, and between the speakers and audience, about topics such as what research is needed, policies that contributed to and increased inequities by race, gender, and class, among others, and the potential political and policy responses to eliminate these inequities.
Moderator: Lynette Rawlings, The Policy Academies
Speakers:
- Sylvia Allegretto - University of California, Berkeley

- Vicente Navarro - Pompeu Fabra University
- Keshia Pollack Porter - Johns Hopkins University
