GI-NI PROJECT

Inequality has been growing within and between European countries. Welfare and public policies in Europe are intended to promote more inclusive growth. The EU-funded GI-NI project will improve our understanding of the changes and the joint impact of three major transformations on inequality and inclusive growth: technological progress, globalisation and migration.

GI-NI offers policy and governance solutions. The aim is to equip citizens and companies better so that they secure more equal opportunities and outcomes. In addition to measuring impacts and fostering dialogue, the project will collect and consolidate data and produce future projections. As a result, GI-NI will generate new scientific understanding next to multilateral policy solutions.

GI-NI OBJECTIVES
GI-NI OUTCOMES
  • Measure impacts of the transformations on work, skills, and inequality

  • Collect and consolidate data and produce future projections
  • Identify policy and governance options for inclusion and equality
  • New scientific understanding of joint impacts of transformations
  • Multilateral policy solutions
