Meeting

The thematic dialogue on Improving coherence between economic and social policies seeks to unpack the complexities of, and synergies between, economic policies and social objectives, highlighting how economic policies alone cannot achieve inclusive growth and social justice and effectively tackle inequalities without considering and addressing the social dimension. It further aims to identify strategies to ensure that economic policies are not only growth oriented, but also inclusive and sustainable, and that they foster equal opportunities and outcomes for all. The session seeks to lay the groundwork for future collaborations and to stimulate strengthened partnerships centred on the alignment between economic growth and social justice.
