Abstract

This dialogue aimed to generate debate around a wide range of policy issues, and in particular to examine two specific policies: minimum wages, and vocational training and skills development, which both have a strong impact on labour market inequality. Inclusive development considers labour market policy measures that can widen access to opportunities, and social protection policies that can reduce disparities in income and access. Better enforcement could also help in increasing the potential impacts of minimum wages on reduction of poverty and inequality.
