CGI 2023 provides a unique opportunity for scientists themselves to highlight the depth of their knowledge on the complex issues pertaining to Economic Empowerment and make meaningful connections with this influential audience that will change outcomes. We hope you find inspiration for talks and speakers here.
Social Capital, Black Social Mobility, and Health Disparities
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-052020-112623
"This review aims to delineate the role of structural racism in the formation and accumulation of social capital and to describe how social capital is leveraged and used differently between Black and White people as a response to the conditions created by structural racism."
Transnational Corporations, Biosphere Stewardship, and Sustainable Futures
doi: 10.1146/annurev-environ-120120-052845
"How do we harness corporations to do good or at least not do bad?"
How Stimulating Is a Green Stimulus? The Economic Attributes of Green Fiscal Spending
doi: 10.1146/annurev-environ-112420-020640
"If you only cared about traditional economic metrics, would green spending still make sense?"
Women's Health: Population Patterns and Social Determinants
doi: 10.1146/annurev-soc-030320-034200
"From the exclusion of women's bodies in medical research, to the silence and stigma of menstruation and menopause, to the racism reflected in maternal mortality, the relevance of social factors is paramount."
The Knowledge-Based Economy and the Global South
doi: 10.1146/annurev-soc-080321-071214
"Despite legacies of historical marginalization and exploitation in the Global South —and formerly colonized countries in particular— pockets of innovation do occur".
Resetting Policies to End Family Homelessness
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-040119-094256
"Families, the majority of whose members are children, now comprise more than one-third of the overall US homeless population. "
Mental Health and Wealth: Depression, Gender, Poverty, and Parenting
doi: 10.1146/annurev-clinpsy-071219-022710
"Depression is common and adversely affects the capacity to work and establish economic stability. Women are disproportionately burdened by depression, and low-income pregnant and parenting women have particularly high rates of depression and often lack access to treatment."
Measuring Women's Empowerment in the Global South
doi: 10.1146/annurev-soc-030420-015018
"Given that empowerment is as much a collective process as it is individual, a more multidisciplinary approach is needed. This requires an intersectional lens, employing the life course approach, and tapping into diverse sources of data that can strengthen future research."
On Measuring Global Poverty
doi: 10.1146/annurev-economics-081919-022924
"While fewer people are poor by the global absolute standard, more are poor by the country-specific relative standard. The vast bulk of poverty, both absolute and relative, is now found in the developing world."
Education and Stratification in Developing Countries: A Review of Theories and Research
doi: 10.1146/annurev.soc.27.1.77
"Educational inequality is examined in four broad areas: macro-structural forces; family background; school effects; and education's impact on economic and social mobility. It assesses the contributions of research in Africa, Asia, and Latin America."
Early Childhood Development, Human Capital, and Poverty
doi: 10.1146/annurev-economics-092821-053234
"Children from low-income backgrounds often grow up without stimulation which leads to developmental deficits that are hard to reverse later in life. This is a key driver of inequality and contributes to the intergenerational transmission of poverty."
Early Childhood Education: Health, Equity, and Economics
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-071321-032337
"Many low-income and minority children globally are at risk of diminished life courses because of lack of resources. Early childhood education can benefit children, especially those most disadvantaged, with additional societal benefits and positive long-run economic returns."

doi: 10.1146/annurev-financial-071020-012008
"Markets for consumer financial services are growing rapidly in low- and middle-income countries. Underlying causes of harm create five potential problems: high and hidden prices, overindebtedness, postcontract exploitation, fraud, and discrimination."
Cash Transfers and Health
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-090419-102442
"Evidence suggests that cash transfers produce positive health effects. Continuing research and policy innovation—for example, universal basic income and universal Child Development Accounts—are likely to be productive."
Progress in National Policies Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals: Policies that Matter to Income and Its Impact on Health
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-040119-094151
"The ambitious SDG goals aim to create a blueprint for peace and prosperity for everyone around the world. All countries can improve and everyone, including the most marginalized are included. One goal is to transform the social determinants of health."
