🎯 Equity vs Efficiency? Why not both?
Our framework helps balance spatial equity with economic efficiency in infrastructure planning.
Especially relevant for resource-constrained settings.

What happens when 5 EU universities come together to tackle global challenges?
They build a common R&I agenda driven by:
✅ #SDG3: Good Health
✅ #SDG10: Reduced Inequalities
✅ #SDG13: Climate Action

📊 Entre 2004 y 2019, Italia vio un gran aumento en el empleo a tiempo parcial involuntario, duplicando al voluntario. Esto implica brecha salarial, menos formación y oportunidades 📉, y afecta a mujeres, jóvenes y no nativos 🌍. #Desigualdad #Empleo

🔑 Findings
1️⃣ Income in the top 1% negatively impacts education in low- and middle-income countries
2️⃣ Human capital 🧠 and health 🏥 closely tied to the strength of the middle class
3️⃣ It’s not just Gini that matters but the distribution across the top, middle, and bottom (3/6)

📚 Paper summary: We analyse how income concentration at different parts of the distribution impacts human development 🌍Using data from 150 countries (1990-2019), we find that top and bottom inequality harms education and health 📉, while a middle class drives progress 🚀. (2/6)
