Hosted by LSE Festival: Visions for the Future
Speakers: Abby Jitendra, Dr Abigail McKnight, Dr Thomas C. Stephens
Chair: Dr Tania Burchardt
The event challenges the old adage, 'The poor will always be with us', by envisaging a future free from poverty. The speakers will identify the gains for children and for society as a whole from ending child poverty and the gains for workers, families and the economy from ending bad jobs.
