Barriers to Economic Opportunity and Inclusion
The workshop on Barriers to Economic Opportunity and Inclusion advanced research on systemic perspectives, ranging from the study of discrimination to educational and occupational attainment to interactions with the criminal justice system, which are essential dimensions to understanding income and wealth inequality. This workshop was cosponsored by the Program for Economic Inclusion at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.
Participation was by invitation only.
