World Development Report 2006: Equity and Development
The World Development Report (WDR) 2006 explores the role of equity in development. Inequalities in incomes, in health and in educational outcomes have long been a stark fact of life in many developing countries. These are often accompanied by profound differences in influence, power and social status, whether at the level of individuals or groups. High inequalities matter for development and need to be addressed by domestic and international policies and institutions.
The WDR 2006 is being prepared by a team of World Bank staff and researchers working under the guidance of François Bourguignon, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist. The report will be published in September 2005.
An Outline of the report was finalized in July 2004 after discussions within the Bank, including with the Executive Directors, and with external partners. An online discussion on the Outline was held from October 12 to November 19, 2004. Consultations will be held throughout the preparation of the report. Comments and inputs will also be sought through conferences and meetings.
