Inclusive Growth

The world is undergoing a series of profound economic shifts, with many individuals around the globe feeling divorced from the benefits of the globalized economy. Three key development areas—improving the financial inclusion of women and girls, harnessing migration, and shaping workforce transitions for the future economy—can help generate sustainable and equitable economic gains for both advanced and developing societies. The Atlantic Council’s Inclusive Growth Initiative aims to build a platform for sharing best practices in these policy spheres with communities around the world to exchange ideas and shine a light on successful real-world case studies.
