This is a forward-looking conversation dedicated to equitable recovery from COVID-19 and its aftermath. Some guiding concerns are:
- Can/should we rebuild equitably?
- What policy pathways are likely to bring about a more equitable/inclusive results?
- If/how should Universal Basic Income be built into the COVID-19 recovery packages?
- What policy experiments and data are there to guide us?
