Abstract

Inclusive growth is a universal problem, not just a problem of emerging economies. While the scale and scope of the inequality in growth may be different in developed and emerging economies, the structure and solutions are likely to be similar. For example, the problem of malnutrition on the one hand and the obverse problem of childhood obesity are present in both developing and developed countries. Malnutrition is more dominant in the developing countries and childhood obesity in the developed countries. Inclusive growth in health entails reducing both in both developing and developed countries.

A comprehensive framework which encapsulates the natural language and logic of the problem is needed to address the problem systemically and systematically. Developing a coherent strategy would be difficult without such a framework. We propose an ontological framework to catalyze the systemic and systematic formulation of the problem.

The framework has been derived by parsing the title of the paper into three dimensions: (a) Challenges, (b) Inclusivity, and (c) Growth. The Challenges dimension is deconstructed into two sub-dimensions: (a) Resources, and (b) Forces. Each dimension is articulated by a taxonomy of categories and subcategories. Each concatenation of categories subcategories across the dimensions sub-dimensions is an aspect of the problem. The set of all possible concatenations is a comprehensive description of the problem. A selection of relevant concatenations can form the foundation of a coherent strategy.
