2.1e What are the most effective approaches to designing and implementing inclusive economic policies that ensure that women and other marginalised groups contribute to and benefit from economic growth and technological transfer? How does inclusion impact overall productivity and long-term economic resilience?

Background

Research supports policy makers to adjust to the changing global economic environment, to deliver sustainable, inclusive growth that is resilient to a variety of shocks. Global changes in technology, trade and climate are re-shaping the pathways open to countries of all income levels to drive structural transformation and employment-rich growth, while increased debt levels are reducing policymakers’ room to manoeuvre.

Research and evidence are also needed to bring a suite of broader economic tools to spur the private sector and increase productivity through increased investment, trade, technological upgrading and improved human capital and infrastructure.
