Inclusion Economics is a policy-engaged research initiative promoting inclusive institutions, economies, and societies. Inclusion Economics spans Inclusion Economics at Yale University, which is a collaboration between the Economic Growth Center and the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, Inclusion Economics India Centre at IFMR, and Inclusion Economics Nepal at Governance Lab.
Every life is shaped by the functioning of institutions, from the family to the economy to the state. At Inclusion Economics, we ask which policies build institutions that enable economies and societies where everyone can access economic opportunities. Inclusion must be intentional. It is not guaranteed by economic growth or political models – many democracies witness strong growth that still leaves millions in poverty. Inclusion occurs when institutions distribute power equitably, rather than along traditional lines that reinforce exclusion and bias. Our aim is to identify how policy can promote inclusive and accountable institutions, economies, and societies, and how citizens – including the vulnerable and marginalized – can influence political and economic systems to ensure they are responsive to their needs, now and in the future.
