Interrelation between Growth and Inequality
Kang, Jong Woo | August 2015
Abstract
The paper highlights the importance of “broad-based growth” as a framework to support economic growth
and inclusiveness at the same time. Different countries show different dynamics between economic growth
and inequality depending on diverse development, social, and economic contexts. If a growth pattern
worsens inequality, renewed attention should be paid to curbing inequality. Those countries showing an
inclusive growth pattern are encouraged to further promote growth with a lower risk of sacrificing equity.
