Focus on development
Find out more about our work on development
The steady reduction in global poverty since 1998 has been a success story. However, hundreds of millions still live in extreme poverty, and the COVID-19 pandemic turned a 22-year tide of progress. With a strong focus on development economics, Blavatnik School researchers have long been at the forefront at fighting poverty and looking at how countries develop and flourish – not only economically, but in living standards, freedoms, health, education, environmental protection and quality of life.
