Empirical Social Science Research Center for
Policy Solutions to Disparities and Inequalities

GREETING

This is the website of the “Empirical Social Science Research Center for Policy Solutions to Disparities and Inequalities”, a project adopted in 2021 by the University of Tsukuba Pre-Strategic Initiative. This project aims to establish a platform for research on inequality across various fields such as economics, society, information, education, and medicine, with political inequality as its main theme. At the same time, we will capture the reality of disparity and inequality, and consider what kind of system is desirable for political and policy solutions, and how the latest digital technologies can be applied.
