Convergence refers to the process where poorer regions grow at a faster rate than richer ones, leading to a reduction in regional disparities over time. This phenomenon has been observed in various countries and regions, including the provinces of Canada, the 50 US states, Japanese prefectures, and between Northern and Southern Italy, as economic policies, investments, and development efforts have been aimed at reducing regional income disparities and promoting more uniform growth across different areas.
