About this Roundtable

Topic: Overall challenges of social inclusion in the context of the region’s stark economic inequality. Among the 14 most unequal countries in the world, she noted, 6 are in Latin America. In recognition of the varied ways economic inequality affects marginalized people, she explained, the OAS has, under the leadership of Secretary General Luis Almagro, begun to add new, intersectional dimensions to how it measures inequality. It has begun collecting data beyond simple socioeconomic indicators to assess how inequality interacts with, for example, gender, rural or urban residence, disability, or Afro and indigenous descent to shape social inclusion..
