If the world is to have any chance of eradicating poverty by 2030, it has to understand it first. This week on Policy Forum Pod, we hear from two leading figures working on the front line of measuring and addressing the problem.

On this week’s Policy Forum Pod, we hear from Olli Kangas, the lead designer of Finland’s Universal Basic Income experiment, about the future of social welfare and why the Finnish trial will be discontinued.

On the new Policy Forum Pod, the Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund Dr Babatunde Osotimehin discusses family planning, sustainable development, and why there’s still a very long way to go when it comes to gender equality.
