From Gaps to Growth: Equity as a Path to Prosperity

Mary Daly

FRBSF Economic Letter, 2021, vol. 2021, issue 26, 01-07

Abstract: The pandemic has shined a vivid light on the deep roots of economic inequity, showing that the rules are not the same for everyone. Persistent, unfair gaps in opportunity and well-being across different groups in our society limit people’s potential. Eliminating these inequities could substantially boost GDP and increase the economy’s long-run rate of growth, leading to greater prosperity for all.
