Join us on Wednesday, May 15 for a discussion with Scott Rozelle about the urban-rural gap and structural inequalities in China. Scott is a renowned development economist whose work has focused on Chinese rural development, in particular poverty, inequality, education, employment, health and nutrition. His recent research analyzes how high levels of socioeconomic inequality can have profound implications for child development and lifelong educational equity, and what such implications mean for China's "Common Prosperity" goals. Scott will also discuss his 2020 book Invisible China: How the Urban-Rural Divide Threatens China's Rise, in which he drew upon on-the-ground surveys to analyze the inequalities that may soon cause an economic and humanitarian crisis in China.
