Officially launched in December 2025, we are Asia’s first Stone Centre, established to advance the comparative study of income and wealth inequality in the region. Led by an interdisciplinary team from the University of Hong Kong (HKU), we connect a global research community to understand inequality’s causes and consequences, contrasting Asian experiences with global patterns.

By transforming diverse data into clear, public-facing insights, we forge essential bridges between academic research and real-world policy for a more equitable future.
