Inclusive Growth

The World Bank, Inclusive Growth Analytics: Framework & Application, 2009.
This policy research working paper argues that inclusive growth analytics has a distinct character focusing on both the pace and pattern of growth. Traditionally, applied country-specific poverty and growth analyses have been done separately. This paper describes the conceptual elements for an analytical strategy aimed to integrate these two strands of analyses, and to identify and prioritize country-specific constraints to sustained and inclusive growth. The authors apply the framework to the case of Zambia.

Commission on Growth and Development, The Growth Report: Strategies for sustained Growth and inclusive Development, 2008.
The report looks at how developing countries can achieve fast sustained and equitable growth. According to the Commission, fast sustained growth is not a miracle; countries need leaders who are committed to achieving growth and who can take advantage of opportunities from the global economy. They also need to know about the levels of incentives and public investments that are necessary for private investment to take off and ensure the long-term diversification of the economy and its integration in the global economy.

United Nations Development Programme, Creating Value for All: Strategies for doing Business with the Poor, 2008.

World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Sustainability through the Market: Seven Keys to Success, 2001
The report presents an agenda for improving markets so that they advance sustainable development. Market attributes that can serve the purpose of sustainability – such as freedom of choice, competition, and innovation – should be more fully engaged. Markets can also provide the poor with more opportunities and can better reflect the values of environmental goods and services crucial to our quality of life. This report explains how; the report team believes that it can help global society, and in particular the business community, navigate the sustainability transition.
