The 5th FPCI-GRIPS Public Forum “Asia’s Contribution to the World: Toward Reducing Poverty and Inequality”

GRIPS is collaborating with FPCI (Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia) in convening the FPCI-GRIPS Public Forum, a monthly discussion series where experts and policy makers can discuss the most pressing issues of international affairs and foreign policy with researchers and students across Southeast Asia and Japan.

?

At the 5th forum, we will focus on poverty and inequality problems.

?

The emerging economies of Asia have achieved high economic growth and have been the driving force of the global economy, marked by a massive reduction of poverty in the region. In fact, Asia has seen hundreds of millions of citizens rise out of poverty since the 1960s.

However, fast growth and poverty reduction has been accompanied by rising inequality.

The expansion of COVID-19 has led to the emergence of poverty and inequality problems in many countries, which are destabilizing the international order. In order to show the world Asia’s strategy in solving the problems of poverty and inequality caused by the pandemic, we will analyze these issues and discuss future directions.

Please join us and watch the forum!
