Automation and digitisation are set to impact on many areas of work and livelihoods in developing countries and there is an urgent need for robust empirical work to address this issue. Participants at the 2017 Digital Development Summit, convened by IDS, called for research institutions to create cross-cutting partnerships across disciplines, geographies and sectors both to develop research and to play a brokering role in relation to solutions.
This seminar will be a space to discuss key issues and debates and explore the role IDS researchers might play in developing this research agenda.

Challenging Inequalities: Pathways to a Just World
Reducing inequalities is one of the biggest development challenges of our era, and a key focus of the current IDS strategy. The 2016 World Social Science Report on this theme, which IDS has co-led with the International Social Science Council, was launched in September 2016, bringing together over 100 authors from around the world.
This seminar share's the report's key findings and messages about the level of inequalities, their multiple and intersecting nature, their consequences and implications and what might be done about them - towards building pathways to a more equal world.
