Maria João Rodrigues spoke at this solution session during the Second World Summit for Social Development, that took place between 4th-6th November. This session explored innovative pre-distribution policies, such as direct interventions in labour markets and the economy, as well as redistribution policies such as progressive, gender-just fiscal policies, in support of the three priority objectives of WSSD2— poverty eradication, full and productive employment and decent work and social integration.

By exploring these policies, the session presented concrete solutions on how to address systemic inequality, promote a more level playing field and mobilize resources through fair tax policies to invest in public services and social policy.
