Its objectives were to bring the most recent research on growth-inequality linkages in developed economies — with particular reference to Canada and the United States — to the attention of policy makers, and to open a public debate about the choices facing Canadian society. The articles in this special issue of Canadian Public Policy are revised versions of selected papers from that conference, covering low-income intensity, earnings variability, the theoretical roots of growth-inequality linkages, behavioural models of growth, social protection, age structure, labour supply, and the role of monetary policy. En janvier 2001, l’Institut de recherche en politiques publiques et le Centre d’étude des niveaux de vie ont organisé à Ottawa une grande conférence publique sur les liens entre la croissance économique et l’inégalité. Elle visait deux objectifs : porter à l’attention des décideurs les recherches les plus récentes sur ces liens dans les économies développées, avec une attention particulière au Canada et aux États-Unis, et ouvrir un débat public sur les choix qui se présentent à la société canadienne. Les articles de ce numéro spécial d’Analyse de Politiques sont des versions révisées de communications choisies, portant sur l’intensité du faible revenu, l’instabilité des gains, les fondements théoriques des liens croissance-inégalité, la protection sociale, la structure par âge, l’offre de travail et le rôle de la politique monétaire.
