The Psychological Forces a UN Leader Says We Must Harness

Our world today faces deep and growing inequalities that affect billions of lives. Fewer than 60,000 people or just 0.001% of the global population, now control more wealth than the poorest half of humanity combined, threatening social stability and economic justice worldwide.

Gender inequality remains stark, with women earning roughly 61% of what men earn when paid work is counted alone and only 32% when unpaid labor is included, despite working more hours on average.

At the same time, an estimated 1.3 billion people, about 16% of the world’s population, experience significant disability and continue to face barriers to education, employment, healthcare, and full participation in society.

These disparities are not abstract numbers. They reflect millions of lives excluded from opportunity, dignity, and wellbeing. Understanding the psychological forces that shape how we think, lead, and organize our societies is critical if we are to reverse these trends and build a world where every human being truly matters.

In this episode, we will explore how psychological insights can deepen our understanding of inequality, influence policy that uplifts the marginalized, and inspire collective action toward inclusion and justice.

A.H. Monjurul Kabir is a Sr. UN Coordination Adviser & Global Team Leader. With over 20 years at the United Nations, Mr. Kabir has led initiatives impacting over 1.5 billion people worldwide, advancing gender equality, disability inclusion, and human rights.
