SXSW 2021
Building a More Inclusive US Economy
Description:
The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified areas of inequality and inequity across society—in terms of both lives and livelihoods. History shows us that those who are the hardest hit during a crisis have the least ability to bounce back and take the longest. Unemployment and underemployment, barriers to educational attainment, and workplace trends like automation add even more pressure on the most vulnerable segments of our population. This session will explore these challenges and lay out the type of collaboration between the public, private, and social sectors that can help build a more resilient, inclusive, post-pandemic economy.
