Our approach: IPC-IG’s work on inclusive growth starts from the

premise that societies based on equality tend to perform better in development and that long-term public investments on comprehensive social protection is a necessary condition to achieving sustainable and inclusive growth.

What is Inclusive Growth? A policy debate that emerged in the South: India,

China, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, Turkey Inclusive growth is both an outcome and a process,

requiring benefit-sharing and participation.
