29
Jan

  • 14.00 - 16.00 HRS. (BKK)

As global demographics shift—through aging populations, urbanization, migration, and changing family structures—vulnerable and at-risk groups often remain excluded from the benefits of development and social progress. This session explores how inclusive policy design and innovative interventions can ensure equity for vulnerable and at-risk groups, such as the older persons, people with disabilities, migrants, indigenous populations, and gender minorities. With examples from diverse global contexts, the session offers actionable insights for building socially cohesive and inclusive societies amidst demographic transitions.

By the end of the session, participants will:

  • Understand the differentiated impacts of demographic transitions on vulnerable and at-risk groups.
  • Learn from real-world examples of inclusive policy innovations.
  • Be equipped with practical tools and guiding principles to apply equity-focused thinking to policy design.
  • Engage with global voices and perspectives on inclusive development.
