Amid crises, diversity is often scapegoated. The evidence points the other way: demographic change, the “mother” of diversity, has expanded longevity, education, gender equality, and mobility, making societies more innovative and prosperous. Today’s superdiversity, across gender, age, ethnicity/migration, socioeconomic origin, ability, and health, powers productivity and creativity. New D&I narratives should rely on precision data to protect and design for this richness, shifting the conversation from risk to value, and from polarization to shared wellbeing.
