The focus of the event was to disseminate and debate policy recommendations from the five research papers namely, Interrogating the Drivers of Inequality; Mobility and the Middle Class; Social Cohesion and Inequality; The Vulnerable in the Labour Market and Possible Policy Interventions to deal with Structural Inequality.

MISTRA was commissioned to facilitate a high-level Policy Dialogue – to disseminate and debate policy recommendations from the five research papers. The dialogue was used as a platform for unbounded discussion, in a Chatham House rules format, in order to develop a common understanding of the challenges.

Executive Director, Joel Netshitenzhe set the scene at the beginning of the dialogue.
