INET-YSI South Asia Regional Conference on Social Change
Understanding and Addressing Emerging
Inequalities in the 21st Century in South Asia
Emerging inequalities in the 21st century pose a significant challenge to achieving equitable and sustainable development. These disparities—whether technological, informational, ecological, or governance-related—are deeply interconnected, requiring coordinated, multi-sectoral responses. By understanding and addressing these inequalities, we can work toward a more inclusive and just society where access to resources, opportunities, and well-being is equitable for all. Therefore, this conference aims to identify the drivers of emerging inequalities and to analyse the interconnected nature of these inequalities and their broader social, economic, and political implications. Further, it emphasizes vulnerable groups that are disproportionately affected by these emerging inequalities, such as women, rural populations, and low-income communities. As an outcome, it also expects policy interventions and inclusive growth strategies that can mitigate these disparities and promote equity across all dimensions.
With this background, the Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC), Bengaluru, in collaboration with the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) and Its Young Scholars Initiative (YSI), is organizing a conference for young research scholars (Ph.D. scholars and early career scholars within three years of their Ph.D.) during 24th to 26th of February 2025.
