Spotlight on Inclusive Growth
New York Times Davos, Jan 27, 2011
“India is trying hard not to be forgotten at the World Economic Forum amid a focus on China. The South Asian country has brought the single biggest delegation to Davos, and advertisements with its ‘Inclusive Growth’ slogan could be seen not just in the conference center but on public buses in town.”

What Is Inclusive Growth?
Inclusive growth signals a process by which economic growth is generated and distributed in ways that are broad-based, with the lower-income strata in society sharing in progress.

Kerala Is Different -- Or Is It?
► India: Imbalance between economic and social development, with the latter lagging behind
► Kerala: Imbalance in the opposite direction. With only half the level of per capita income of the richest state Goa, Kerala had the highest human development index.

1. Education and Skills
► Access to secondary and higher education remain crucial gaps for India.
► Relevance, quality, learning outcomes, and link to skills and jobs are vital for Kerala.
![Page 13: Vinod Thomas Director-General and Senior Vice President Independent Evaluation Group](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56815f88550346895dce8e0f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2. Labor and Employment
► Must link education, productivity, and jobs
► Protectionism, trade and domestic employment
► Labor market policies and greater labor mobility within India
![Page 14: Vinod Thomas Director-General and Senior Vice President Independent Evaluation Group](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56815f88550346895dce8e0f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Agriculture, Industry, and Services
► Confronting India’s urban-rural divide is essential to inclusion
► Kerala’s challenges in agricultural financing and productivity
► Kerala’s crisis in urban infrastructure, congestion, and garbage management
![Page 15: Vinod Thomas Director-General and Senior Vice President Independent Evaluation Group](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56815f88550346895dce8e0f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
4. Corporate Structure and Finance
► Large corporations with global reach are essential.
► But they must be part of a competitive Indian economy.
► Vigorous entry of small, medium, and large businesses is needed
► Reform competition, judiciary, financial, and land policies.

5. Governance and Service Delivery
► We need a state that is accountable to citizens
► Central government over stretched
► Kerala’s example of decentralization —, but how to make it work to benefit citizens?
