About this presentation Individual and societal stress has a first order effect on individual and societal wellbeing. Economic policies can either aggravate or ameliorate such stress. The seminar will explore several of the dimensions of this stress, including that arising from intergenerational inequalities (including those associated with housing); stresses associated with vulnerability and a lack of an adequate safety net; stresses associated with a lack of voice in the decisions that affect one’s wellbeing; stresses associated with discrimination; and stresses associated with a lack of social cohesion and a lack of trust in the economic, political, and social system. The seminar will discuss some ways that economic and social policy can reduce such stress and thereby increase wellbeing. About the presenter Joseph E.
