 Investing in early childhood  Improving school quality  Addressing youth at risk  Improving labor markets and extending coverage of social security  Addressing the double burden of the health transition  Improving CCTs and other anti-poverty programs  Fostering social inclusion

In addition to the inequality and poverty trends, education gaps, youth at risk, health burdens:  Growth and growth prospects for the region; heterogeneity (commodity importers vs. commodity exporters)  Demographic transition  Fiscal space  Challenges: rising food prices, climate change (systemic adverse shocks), water scarcity

 Lending program  Non-lending activities  Knowledge and information: creation and sharing  What about:  Advisory services and technical assistance: what role will they play?  Raising public awareness: should it be part of the strategy?  Providing support to local agents of change: should it be part of the strategy?

1. Declining inequality: sustaining the momentum 2. The challenge of rising food prices 3. Assessing fiscal policy’s contribution to equity goals 4. Improving quality and accessibility of data 5. Promote accountability and transparency

 Labor market dynamics (Goldin and Katz, 2008; Schady et al., 2010)  Relationship between growth patterns and declining inequality  Why is inequality rising in some countries?  Indirect impact of CCTs on local economies  Assessing the contribution of fiscal policy to poverty and inequality reduction

 Improving access to post basic secondary education; supply/demand side interventions?  Safety net design: counter-cyclical and responsive to shocks. In particular, what to do with rising food prices?  Increase progressivity of tax-and-transfer system

 Household surveys are still deficient: urban areas only, not comparable over time, not comparable across countries, egregious misreporting, do not include information on taxes and transfers  => back to “old” MECOVI  IDB’s online databank of household surveys  IDB’s online data on poverty and inequality (join forces with SEDLAC/WB?)

 Best practices in accessibility to information (e.g., household surveys and tax return data by OECD countries)  Best practices in institutionalizing objective poverty and inequality measuring and evaluation of social policy and programs (e.g., CONEVAL? )
