WIDER Conference seeks
ways to share the wealth 

UNU World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER) is calling for papers for its upcoming international conference on Sharing Global Prosperity to be held in Helsinki September 6-7.

For the rich world it is a time of unprecedented prosperity built on rising  finance, trade and investment flows and spurred on by the revolution in information technology. Yet in the developing world millions of people continue to live in the direst poverty and global prosperity appears to have passed them by.

The WIDER international conference will focus on ways to increase the global economy's benefits to poor countries and poor people. Conference topics will include:

• Innovative sources of development finance.
• Private capital flows and foreign aid.
• International trade & foreign investment.

• Globalization's development impact.

Conference details are updated on regular basis on the WIDER website.
