Please join the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) on Thursday, November 1st from 1:30-5:30 pm for Evidence to Action 2018: The Reality & Future of Work, and a reception to follow.

We'll explore the work lives of people in poverty, and the ways that technology and policy can be harnessed to make future growth more inclusive. Pioneering researchers, including Paul Romer, NYU professor and 2018 Nobel laureate in Economics, will share insights from field experiments in the US, India, Kenya, Bangladesh and beyond.

The event is part of our annual Evidence to Action series and marks CEGA's tenth year as a global leader in economic development research. It is graciously hosted by the Google Community Space in San Francisco.
