Inequality
Inequality refers to disparities in income, wealth, and access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and economic opportunities. While some progress has been made, inequalities persist and deepen for vulnerable populations, including refugees, migrants, Indigenous peoples, older persons, people with disabilities, and children. These disparities hinder sustainable development, threaten social stability, and limit economic growth. Addressing inequality requires inclusive policies, equitable access to resources, and protections against discrimination and social exclusion.

Global standards miss the nuance in local child labour
Research conducted by Young Lives on improving the current issue of child labour provided from a view that differs from the conventional approach: improving working conditions is more constructive than merely banning child labour altogether, as doing so would miss the social and economic nuances such as relationship ties, supporting families and gaining skills.
Young Lives
Young Lives is an international, not-for-profit organisation that conducts research aiming to shed light on the drivers and impacts of child poverty, and generate evidence to help policymakers make a real difference. Some of its current projects are based on young marriage and parenthood, gender inequality and education.
