Abstract

Bangladesh has been able to achieve noteworthy progress in terms of sustained economic growth, poverty alleviation and several other social indicators. Despite these being no mean achievement, the extent of inclusiveness of the attained growth still requires closer inspection. To this end, the present chapter attempts to assess Bangladesh’s progress over time in achieving inclusive growth through a set of indicators under seven broad pillars, viz. poverty and inequality, growth and structural transformation, employment, access to infrastructure and public services, health and education, gender equality, and governance and institutions. This exercise would help to assess and underscore the sources and foundations of inclusive growth, and to identify the binding constraints to future growth and its equitable sharing. Furthermore, this chapter provides a cross-country comparison with six other Asian countries to portray a comparative performance of Bangladesh. Finally, it presents a composite inclusive growth index that enables both cross-country and intertemporal assessment. Based on the findings, this paper has identified four priority areas to be acted upon for the attainment of inclusive growth in Bangladesh, i.e. employment; access to infrastructure and public services; access to education, health and social protection; and governance and institutions.
