Inequality in the Arab Region - A ticking time bomb is a flagship report that builds on the Pathfinders flagship global report entitled From Rhetoric to Action: Delivering Equality and Inclusion. The present report analyses selected forms of inequalities that were exacerbated by recent developments globally and regionally. It aims to contribute to Arab countries’ efforts to reduce inequality, which has been on the rise in the region, especially since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report sets out practical policy solutions that may have a tangible impact on reducing inequality, particularly the pertinent challenge of youth unemployment in the region.

The report begins with an introductory section that sets the tone and presents the overall objectives of the report, followed by six chapters.
