Economic growth, jobs, inequality climate change -- these development issues never sleep.
Want to learn more about the economics behind international development? How can we stimulate economic growth, reduce poverty and help people in developing countries? Join us for a live, 24-hour “Econothon” where experts from the World Bank Group and beyond will engage a global audience on the development challenges facing the world today.

Because development never sleeps, this unique event will travel across the globe over the course of a day. It will feature dozens of economists on multiple issues crucial to development that we have always wanted to know more about. For example: how to remove barriers that prevent women from participating in the workplace; why investing in education; health and other forms of human capital pays big dividends in the long term; how to manage debt financing; and how to build more resilient and sustainable water, food, and electricity systems in the wake of a changing climate.
