| Resumen: |
Past policies on group-based inequality call attention to the need for inclusive human development, as well as policies that emphasise the needs of the most disadvantaged groups. We highlight three elements of such an approach:
• Progressive universalism, which reprioritises the poorest groups in both the allocation of policy resources and in the timeline for expansion of programmes to the whole population.
• Anti-discrimination measures, including positive discrimination in education, the labour market and political institutions.
• Recognition of intersectionality to ensure that government welfare policies cover all population groups; we contrast the possibilities offered by "universal plus" strategies, such as universal basic income (UBI) alongside additional supports for disadvantaged groups, and those targeting the ultra-poor through a bundle of linked supports. |
