There is a commitment in Victoria to achieving greater equity for all Victorians. Professor Richard Wilkinson’s latest book, The spirit level, highlights that a whole range of social and economic issues are several times more common in more unequal societies. The evidence that bigger income differences create more problems is conclusive. And rather than affecting just the poor, inequality reduces the quality of life for everyone in less equal societies.
This seminar will highlight why we need to achieve greater equity in Victoria and identify policy and program strategies to get there.
